The board uses an external resistor network to configure the output voltage which is set via an external potentiometer. The potentiometer is connected to the voltage reference pin of the NCP706 and sets the output voltage of the regulator. The output voltage can then be monitored using two LEDs and a temperature sensor that is preset to the output voltage. The NCP706 linear regulator also features an internal current limit that helps protect against any overloads or short circuit situations. The board is also protected against overvoltage and over-temperature due to its built-in thermal and overvoltage protection.

The NCP706MX21TAGEVB evaluation board is an ideal solution for applications that require exacting control over output voltages. With its low dropout voltage, high accuracy, and programmable protection functions, it is sure to be a popular choice among industrial and automotive engineers.
