5.1 Initial Setup

Test setup used for evaluating LM74721EVM is shown in Figure 5-1. Steps to be followed before testing the evaluation module are:

  • Connect the power supply and load to LM74721EVM.
  • Set the power supply output to 12 V and current limit to 5 A.
  • Set load to 200 mA or a load value less than 5 A.
  • Set the jumpers to default jumper setting as shown in Table 5-1.
