The load current capability is limited at 15A by the ratings of the terminals and the PCB copper area and
weight. The PCB layout has not been tested for currents above 15A, so this should only be done with
some degree of caution.

Evaluation Board Start-Up
Before applying power to the LM5050-1 evaluation board, all external connections should be verified. The
external power supply must be turned off and connected with proper polarity to the VS, VIN, VOUT, and
GND terminals. Under basic evaluation conditions the Off test point is left open.

The evaluation board will be in the normal operating mode when power is applied. The Off terminal is
used only when there is a desire to disable normal operation.
