Vicor PI2121-EVAL1 Full-Function Active ORing Evaluation Board - Manual (Page 5)

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,

1%. If PI2121-EVAL1 is
required to be used in a different Vin voltage
application please follow the following steps to
change the resistor values.
2.1.1 It is important to consider the maximum
current that will flow in the resistor divider
and maximum error due to UV and OV input
current.
