GETTING STARTED
The HV583 128-Channel High-Voltage Driver IC Evaluation Board is fully assembled
and tested.
2.1.1
Tools Required for Operation
• A low DC power supply for V
DD
(and VDD_PIC) that can produce 5V
• A high DC power supply for V
PP
with a voltage range up to +80V
• A logic signal driver: PIC32 Starter Kit (DM320001) or a generic signal pattern
generator
• An oscilloscope and/or a multimeter to observe waveforms and measure electrical
parameters.
2.2
SETUP PROCEDURE
To prepare the HV583 128-Channel High-Voltage Driver IC Evaluation Board for
operation, the following steps must be followed:
1.
Connect the power supplies by following the steps indicated by this power-up
sequence:
a) Connect GND
b) Apply V
DD
c)
Connect VDD_PIC (if PIC32 Starter Kit is mounted and used)
d) Set logic input signals to a known state
e) Apply V
PP
Note 1:
If the PIC32 Starter Kit is used and connected to the USB debug cable,
there is no need to power the VDD_PIC pin.
WARNING
Read the HV583 128-Channel High-Voltage Driver IC Evaluation Board User’s
Guide (this document) fully before proceeding to board setup.
Note:
To power down the board, follow the reverse order of the power-up
sequence.
