2.1 Theory of Operation for the OPT4001YMNEVM

The OPT4001 coupon consists of the OPT4001 IC, decoupling capacitor, and 8 pins. The pins create connections for the power and I2C signals between the coupon and the EVM motherboard. For evaluation purposes the coupon can be removed from the motherboard to be used with other platforms. The motherboard also has an unpopulated 5-pin header footprint for easy access to the supply, ground, and I2C lines.
