1.2 Recommended Test and Measurement Setup
1.2.1 Power
Supply
Table 2 provides the required power supplies and current rating. The power supplies are connected
using standard banana plugs. The customer needs to provide the power supply cables.
It is recommended to use a triple supply to control the EVM supplies. This allows the 3 EVM supplies to
be turned on at the same time. However, if this is not feasible, then the supplies should be enabled in the
following sequence. Power down should be performed in the reverse order.
1. +20V
2. -15V
3. +5V
The Jupiter VCC, VCC_OUT and VEE are gated using an Opto-FET switch on the loadboard so it is safe
to set and enable the Jupiter supplies before powering up the EVM and running the software.

Notes:
1) The EVM +20V could also be used as the Jupiter VCC
2) Once the EVM operation is verified, the customer can adjust the VCC, VCCO, VEE supplies
3) The Jupiter VCC – VEE voltage should not exceed 34V. Refer to the ABS max section in the
datasheet.
4) The VCC, VCC_OUT, and VEE current requirements are assuming a Master and Slave device is
present. If only the Master is present, then a 1 Amp supply is adequate. The program does not
have the ability to measure the Jupiter VCC and VEE currents
1.2.2 PC
Controller
To use the Jupiter EVM User Interface Program (UIP), a PC with the following configuration is required:
Win98, Win2000, WinNT 4.0+, or Win XP
Parallel/Printer Port – 25-pin female connector (a parallel port cable is provided)
1.2.3 DMM or Source Measurement Unit
Voltage and/or Current Meter
