Input Connections:

  1. Prior to connecting the DC input-source, VIN, TI recommends to limit the source current from VIN to 10-A maximum. Ensure that VIN is initially set to 0 V and connected as shown in Figure 5-2.
  2. Connect the voltmeter V1 at TP1 (VIN) and TP4 (GND) to measure the input voltage.

Output Connections:

  1. Connect the load to J3 and set the load to constant-resistance-mode to sink 0-ADC before VIN is applied.
  2. Connect the voltmeter V2 at TP7 (VOUT) and TP9 (GND) to measure the output voltage.
