- Before connecting power to J1,
turn off the input power supply after verifying that its output voltage is set
to a greater absolute value than –5.5 V (–6 V recommended; –16.5 V maximum).
Connect the negative voltage lead from the input power supply to
–VIN, at the J1 connector of the EVM. Connect the ground lead from
the input power supply to GND at the J6 connector of the EVM. If using a (+)
power supply, connect the (+) lead is to J6 (GND) and the negative lead to J1
(–VIN).
- Connect oscilloscope coax cables
to SMA jacks J4 VIN, and/or J5 VOUT if desired. Set scope
channels to high impedance.
- Connect desired (≤1 A) load
between the –VOUT connector J2, and the GND at connector J7.
WARNING: Large
|VIN – VOUT| differentials can lead to excessive internal
power dissipation when operating at higher ILOAD currents. Internal power
dissipation can be calculated with |VIN – VOUT| ×
ILOAD.
