Stacking EVMs

For casual testing, one or two devices may be powered (in order from negative to positive) in lieu of
powering all three devices. Due to poor termination of the unpowered devices in this configuration,
detailed testing or critical hardware evaluations should not be undertaken. Any odd behavior or
unexpected fault conditions should be ignored until verified with the EVM correctly powered by three
isolated supplies.
