Working at an ESD workstation, make sure that any
wrist straps, bootstraps, or mats are connected referencing the user to earth
ground before power is applied to the EVM. An electrostatic smock and safety
glasses should also be worn.
Prior to connecting the DC input source,
V12V_IN, it is advisable to limit the source current from V12V_IN
to 5.0-A maximum. Make sure V12V_IN is initially set to 0 V and connected as
shown in Figure 4-1.
Connect the ammeter A1 (0-A to 5-A range) between
V12V_IN and J1 as shown in Figure 4-1.
Connect voltmeter V1 to TP1 and TP2 as shown in Figure 4-1.
Connect LOAD1 to J2 as shown in Figure 3-1. Set LOAD1 to constant current mode to sink 0 ADC before V12V_IN
is applied.
Connect voltmeter, V2 across TP17 and TP18 as
shown in Figure 4-1.
Connect an oscilloscope probe to TP16 and TP15 as
shown in Figure 4-2.
Place a fan as shown in Figure 4-1. Turn it on, making sure air is flowing across the EVM.
