Jumper
Function/Settings
J1
Connect 1 and 2 to disable on-board buck converter; connect 2 and 3 to enable on-board buck converter.
J12
Connect 1 and 2 to use fixed 1-kΩ resistor; connect 2 and 3 to use on-board potentiometer.
J13
Disconnect to use the internal regulator; do not use external VDD. Connect to disable the internal regulator;
use external VDD in this case.
J14
Connect to enable SPI communications.
J15
Connect 1 and 2 to enable daisy chain mode SPI communication; connect 2 and 3 to use addressable SPI.
J16
Connect 2 and 3 to power VDD using internal buck converter; connect 1 and 2 to power VDD with
microcontroller voltage output; leave open when using internal regulator.
J17
Connect 2 and 3 if using addressable SPI; connect 1 and 2 for every other EVM if using multiple EVMs in
daisy chain mode.
J18
Connect 2 and 3 if using addressable SPI; connect 1 and 2 for every other EVM if using multiple EVMs in
daisy chain mode.
J19, J20, J21, J22
Connect to bypass the RCB FETs; leave open for reverse current blocking.
