Warning 

The evaluation software and drivers must be installed before 
connecting the evaluation board and 

EVAL-SDP-CH1Z

 board 

to the USB port of the PC to ensure that the evaluation system 
is correctly recognized when it is connected to the PC. When 
disconnecting the board, it is important to follow the power
