LGA80D Evaluation Board User Manual GENERAL The LGA80D evaluation board allows the user to test and investigate the performance of the LGA80D non-isolated module. Within the kit there are the following items: The evaluation board equipped with 2 LGA80D modules...
Power cables with M6 ring terminations are required for the input and output connections to and from the evaluation board. Test equipment that will be required will be: A personal computer with the LGA80D GUI software installed on it o The GUI software is available on the Artesyn website https://www.artesyn.com/power/LGA80D-eval-GUI...
If no changes are made to the hardware and firmware configuration of the unit then, the user will see that this board is equipped with 2 LGA80D modules with the following voltage settings: 1 module is configured for a single output...
The key components and connection locations are shown in the picture of the evaluation board below. Note that the LGA80D shown at the ‘top’ of this picture is the one that is configured as the single output unit, and the ‘bottom’ converter is configured as a dual output module.
LGA80D Evaluation Board User Manual OPERATION Here are the instructions to power up the PCB and modules. Power up sequence To power up and configure the evaluation card, please follow the steps as described below. 1. Initial set position of the enable switch Please make sure the OUTPUT ENABLE toggle switch (S201) is in the “disable”...

LGA80D Evaluation Board User Manual 2. Enabling each output The outputs of the individual converters can be enabled or disabled by populating and de-populating the enable jumpers as required. Fig. 9 – The enable jumpers – all 3 shown in place to enable all 3 outputs...
Accurate input and output voltage measurements via pin-headers can be found on J205 and J1205. Use J1205 for monitoring the input voltage and output voltage of the ‘top’ LGA80D (when the input connections are on the left). Note, this converter is configured for a single 80A maximum output.
