Initial Set Up
To test the PRM® mounted to the board it is necessary to configure the switch bank
(Item 5) as shown on the silk screen in Figure 3. Placing the switch bank in this state
connects a fixed resistor between OS and SG of the PRM that sets the output voltage of
the PRM to the nominal value indicated on its respective data sheet.
Failure to configure the switch bank in this state prior to testing may result in
improper output or no output.
