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. 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 TP6 and
TP7 as shown in Figure 4-1.
Connect LOAD1 to J2 as shown in
Figure 4-1. Set LOAD1 to constant current mode to sink 0 ADC before V12V_IN
is applied.
Connect voltmeter V2 across TP8
and TP11 as shown in Figure 4-1.
Connect an oscilloscope probe to
TP9 and TP10 as shown in Figure 4-1Figure 3.
Place a fan as shown in Figure 4-1 and turn on, making sure air is flowing across the EVM.
