MICROCONTROLLER BOARD AND THE EVAL-
ADPD188GGZ EVALUATION BOARD
Connect the USB cable to the
evaluation board,
connect the ribbon cable to the EVAL-ADPD188GGZ board,
and switch the power switch to the
ON
position (see Figure 3).
When the USB cable is connected, the second light emitting
diode (LED) below the power switch illuminates, indicating that
the on-board battery is being charged. When the power switch is
turned to the
ON
position, the LED immediately below the power
switch illuminates, indicating that the
