Development Kit Contents The DK-114N-1 and DK114N-3 are similar in all aspects while the DK-114N-1 supports one channel, the DK-114N-3 supports three channels. All instructions in this manual are based on the DK-114N-1 and can easily be replicated in the DK-114N-3. As shown in Figure 1, the DK- 114N-1 consists of : Heat sink and driver board Cable assemblies Thermal interface materials and mounting hardware User Manual Figure 1: Contents of DK-114N-1 A list of contents of the development kit is given in Appendix A. This development kit is designed with flexible features to allow easy evaluation of the Big Chip LEDs but is not optimized for size or for direct integration into end products.
