Connect the MC-57xx and the TAS5706EVM2 boards by locating pin 1 on each board, indicated by a
small white triangle. The MC-57xx plugs down onto the TAS5706EVM2 board (i.e., the TAS5706EVM2
board fits underneath the MC57xxPSIA board). Pin 1 on each board must be connected to each other.
Install the EVM software on the PC before powering up the board. After connecting the loudspeakers or
other loads, power supplies, and the data line, power up the 5-V power supply first; then power up the
PVCC power supply. It is recommended initially to set the PVCC level to 10 V, then ramp it up to 20 V to
verify cable connections.
