  • Page 3: General

    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...
  • Page 4: Equipment Required

    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...
  • Page 5: Default Settings

    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...
  • Page 6: Component Identification

    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.
