BUF12800EVM Hardware Setup
This section discusses the overall system setup for the BUF12800EVM. The PC runs software that
communicates with the USB_DIG_Platform. The USB DIG Platform generates the analog and digital
signals used to communicate with the BUF12800 test board. Connectors on the BUF12800 test board
allow the user to connect to the system under various test conditions and monitor the power, current, and
voltage. A block diagram of the overall hardware setup is shown in
