The power source can be connected to Enhanced SmartDrive40 either via the terminal block,             
or soldered directly to the pad at the bottom layer. There is no polarity protection on               

NOTE:
1. If a power supply that cannot sink current is being used (example: bench top and AC to                
DC switching power supply), the input voltage will rise when the driver is regenerating             
(motor is slowing down). Thus, it is important to connect a battery with same voltage              
in parallel with the power supply to absorb the current generated by the motor. Else,              
the input voltage might rise to a level where Enhanced SmartDrive40 will be destroyed             
