How to connect the STEVAL-PCC020V1 interface board to the offline converter

Figure 8.

STEVAL-PCC020V1 interface board typical connection

Procedure

Step 1.

STEVAL-PCC020V1

interface board to a PC via a USB cable

Step 2.

Connect the interface board and the offline converter board together through the 6-wire flat cable

Step 3.

Connect the offline converter to the load

Step 4.

Connect the mains

Caution:

You should never plug or unplug the interface board while the connection is running (for example, when the offline converter is
running). If the 5 V UART signals and +15 V VCC (typ.) are connected when the GND is not yet connected, the STNRG011 or
the interface board might be damaged.
