For an initial hardware setup and output verification, follow
these steps:
1.
Connect the evaluation board to the SDP board, which
connects to the USB port of your PC system using a USB
mini-B cable.

device in the
SOIC/LFCSP socket, connect the VCLAMP pin to the
VDD pin, and apply dc power to the board using an
external power supply (±2.5 V).
When this procedure is complete, the output is 70 mV, with the
board in this configuration consuming approximately 4 mA.
