2.2.1 Additional Components Required for Operation

1. A DC Power Supply. A 2.5 mm plug with positive polarity on the center pin is

required to connect the power supply to J1. A bench supply that can produce

12V, 2.5A is recommended to operate the board at the full rated power. A 9V,

750 mA power supply can be purchased through Microchip Inc., part #

AC162039, if needed. This power supply will drive the supplied string of LEDs at

350 mA only (5W output).

2. Oscilloscope and/or multi-meter to observe waveforms and measure electrical

parameters (optional).
