NOTE 1: JP1 and JP2 connect RUN (E1) and SYNC/MODE (E7) to either
GND (E3) or V

IN

 (E2). When JP1 or JP2 is in the lower position (L), then

RUN or SYNC/MODE is connected to V

IN

. Alternatively, if JP1 or JP2 is in

the upper position (U), then RUN or SYNC/MODE is connected to GND. If
external sources drive RUN or SYNC/MODE, then JP1, JP2 or both must
be removed.
