1. TheThe boards connectors LNVcc, LNctrl, PAVcc are protected by a Z-Diode to GND. Negative voltages or voltage at theboards connectors LNVcc, LNctrl, PAVcc are protected by a Z-Diode to GND. Negative voltages or voltage at the limit do cause the diode shunting a large current to GND. This is for protecting the board against wrong polarity and limit do cause the diode shunting a large current to GND. This is for protecting the board against wrong polarity and over voltage during bench experiments.
