Demonstration board usage recommendation

The demonstration board shown in Figure 13 is provided with a Kelvin connection, so for

each pin there are two lines available: one used to supply or sink current, and the other used

to perform the needed measurement.

The ST8R00 inhibit pin does not have an internal pull-up, so the inhibit pin cannot be left

floating.

Demonstration board layers

The board has one inhibit pin available, located on the top left of the board.

The inhibit pin can be used to supply an external voltage higher than 2 V to turn on the

device, or an external voltage lower than 0.8 V to turn off the device.
