2.2 Signal Descriptions
Signals available on the EVM are described in this section. For details on the location and connector
types, refer to the physical construction section. High current signals can be connected at either the
terminal block or banana jack. Refer to the physical construction section for identification.
Cell connections are described in Table 2. The default board assembly supports only 5 cells, so the upper
cell connections are not used. CELL0 and CELL5 are connected to the high current paths on the board
through 0-Ω resistors. This allows operation of the resistive cell simulator without external connections. If
the on-board resistors are removed, connections must be made off the board. Refer to the physical
construction section for resistor identification. Cell connection sequence is described in Section 3.6.
