LINK CONFIGURATION OPTIONS 

There are multiple jumper (LKx) options that must be set 
correctly to select the appropriate operating setup before you 
begin using the evaluation board. The functions of these 

options are outlined in Table 2.  

SETUP CONDITIONS 

Care should be taken before applying power and signals to the 
evaluation board to ensure that all link positions are as required 
by the operating mode. There are two modes in which to operate 

the evaluation board. The evaluation board can be operated in 
SDP controlled mode to be used with the SDP board, or the 

evaluation board can be used in standalone mode.  
Table 3 shows the default positions in which the links are set when 
the evaluation board is packaged. When the board is shipped, it 
is assumed that you are going to operate the evaluation board 
with the SDP board (SDP controlled mode).
