Evaluation Board for Quad T1/E1 Applications — LXD386

3.0Hardware Mode Set-Up and Operation

3.1Power Connections

The evaluation board has two power planes (VCC and TVCC) each of which is tied to a separate red colored banana jack.

1.Connect the +3.3 VDC power supply to the VCC jack.

2.Connect either a +3.3 VDC or +5.0 VDC power supply to the TVCC jack.

3.Connect the power supply ground lead(s) to the black (GND) banana jack.

Jumper JP1 is provided to allow LXT386 current consumption measurements and must be installed for normal board operation. Jumper JP3 allows measurement of the current in the TVCC power supply only. It must also be installed for normal operation.

3.2Hardware Mode Selection

To enable the Hardware mode of operation:

1.Set the MODE switch in switch block S1 to the LOW position.

2.Insert the two shorting blocks, provided with the evaluation board kit, into 20-pin sockets JP4 and JP6.
