LGA50D Evaluation Kit

ARTESYN / Advanced Energy's LGA50D evaluation kit gives users the ability to connect the demonstration board to a USB socket on a PC with the PMBus® interface, dongle, and cable provided in the kit and control and monitor the LGA50D units as they would be used in an application.

Hardware functions on the demonstration board allow users to enable and select an output voltage by simple dip-switch settings. The board provides voltage and ripple measurement points.

The connections to the evaluation board are via M6 screws, with the only provision being that the input voltage is in the 7.5 V to 14 V range. The output connections use the same M6 screws; however, if users want to connect the outputs in parallel or wish to stack the modules, they are placed in such a way as to make the operation of placing a link between them as easy as possible. The demonstration board has two LGA50D modules, allowing users to test independent channel or stacked-module operation.

The LGA50D demo board has two variants - one for the standard height profile unit and the other for the low-profile version.
