Operation
Turn on the input power supply. Verify that the switcher output voltage is near 4.1 V and the LDO output is near 0 V.
Enable the LDO output by connecting the jumper on JP1 from the βonβ pin to the center pin (LDO EN).
Verify that the LDO output voltage is 3.3 V.
Vary the load current and V
