Initial Test Set Up

To test the PI2002-EVAL1 evaluation board it is necessary to
configure the jumpers (J5 and J6) first based on the required
board configuration.

Failure to configure the jumpers prior to the testing may
result in improper circuit behavior.

Baseline Test Procedure (Refer to Figure 3)

1.0 Recommended Equipment

1.1 Two DC power supplies - 0-10 V; 25 A.
1.2 DC power supply 12 V; 100 mA.
1.3 DC electronic load - 30 A minimum.
1.4 Digital Multimeter
1.5 Oscilloscope.
1.6 Appropriately sized interconnect cables.
1.7 Safety glasses.
1.8 PI2002 Product Data sheet.
