5.4.4 Jumper Configurations

All Jumper selections should be made prior to applying power to the EVM. User can configure this EVM as per following configurations.

Table 5-1 Jumper Configurations
JUMPERS JP1 AND JP2DISCRETE SENSE WIRESRESULTUSED FOR
InstalledDo not useDefault. Sense points are at the output connectors of the EVM.Most testing.
Not installedNot installedSense points are at the output connectors of the EVM, but through R7 and R18. Regulation will be degraded.Not usually desired in this configuration.
Not installedInstalled and connected to the output voltage at the location where regulation is desiredRegulation will be at the far end location of the added discrete sense wires, usually desired to be the point of load.Tight regulation of output voltage at a remote location, subject to the limitations mentioned in 5.4.3.
