Before initial power-up follow these steps to configure the
evaluation board for specific end application requirements:

2.0 Undervoltage (UV) and Overvoltage (OV) resistors set up:

2.1 UV and OV programmable resistors are configured

for a 3.3 V Vin (BUS voltage) application in a
two-resistor voltage divider configuration as shown in
Figure 4. UV is set to 2.6 V and OV is set for 3.8 V,

required to be used in a different Vin voltage
application please follow the following steps to
change the resistor values.

that will flow in the resistor divider and
maximum error due to UV and OV input .
