DEMO MANUAL DC1846A

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

Note:

 The buffers shown on sheet 2 of 2 of the schematic are used to protect the LTC6947 when connected to the DC590 before the LTC6947 is powered 

up. There is no need for such circuitry if the SPI bus is not powered before powering up the LTC6947. The EEPROM is for identification and is not needed 

to program the LTC6947.
