1.1 Connection to the Evaluation Board

Connect a standard 12V power supply and a DC electronic load to the evaluation board as shown in Figure 1-1. For I2C and/or PMBus communication with the MCPF1412M06 device, an optional MCP2221A breakout board (sold separately) can also be connected as shown. After confirming that all jumpers are set to the desired positions, power on the supply first, followed by the load. Adjust the load current as needed.
