6.1 Start-up Procedure

  1. Prior to connecting the dc input source VIN, it is advisable to limit the source current from VIN to 2 Adc maximum. Ensure that VIN is initially set to 0 V.
  2. Ensure LOAD1 and LOAD2 are set to constant-current mode to sink 0 A before VIN is applied.
  3. Verify SW1, SW2, and SW3 are in the desired position.
  4. Place a fan as shown in Figure 5-1 and turn on, making sure air is flowing across the EVM.
  5. Increase VIN from 0 V to 12 Vdc.
