2.1 Theory of Operation for the OPT3004DTSEVM

The OPT3004 coupon consists of the OPT3004 IC, decoupling capacitor, and 8 pins. The pins create connections for the power, I2C, and an interrupt signal between the coupon and the EVM motherboard. For evaluation purposes the coupon can be removed from the motherboard to use with other platforms. The motherboard also has an unpopulated 5-pin header footprint for easy access to the supply, ground, I2C and inturrupt lines.
