DEMO MANUAL DC2541A
Quick start proceDure
Demonstration circuit 2541A is easy to set up for evaluat-
ing the performance of the LTC4279. Refer to Figure 1 for
proper measurement equipment setup, Table 1 for jumper
and supply settings, and follow the procedure below.
1) Select the evaluation PSE Type as shown in Table 1 and
set the jumpers accordingly.
2) Connect a power supply with the positive to AGND (J3)
and negative to VEE (J4).
3) Ramp up the supply to the recommended values speci-
fied in Table 1 for the configured mode. VEE LED1 will
turn on when the board is powered.
