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.
