Test Procedure
6 Test Procedure
6.1 Line/Load Regulation and Efficiency Measurement Procedure
1. Ensure the switches S1 (EN1), S2 (EN2), and S3 (EN) are in the "OFF" position.
2. Ensure the shunt jumper are set as follows, see
to change these settings:
a. JP1 (SKIPSEL1): jumper 3 pin to 4 pin (AS)
b. JP2 (FUNC): jumper 1 pin to 2 pin (CMODE_ON)
c. JP3 (TRIP): jumper 7 pin to 8 pin (LV_D-ON)
d. JP4 (SKIPSEL2): jumper 3 pin to 4 pin (AS)
3. Set the DC power source current limit to 10 A. Increase VIN voltage from 0 V to 8 VDC. V3 should be used
to verify VIN.
4. Measure VREG3 (TP9) voltage using V4. It should be between 3.2 V and 3.4 V.
5. Set S3 (EN) to "ON" position. Measure VREG5 (TP5) voltage using V5, it should read between 4.9 V and 5.1
V. Measure VREF2 (TP15) voltage using V6, it should read 1.98 V to 2.02 V.
6. Make sure electronic load #1 is set to sink 0 A. Set S1 (EN1) to "ON" position, S3 remains in "ON" position.
7. Record VOUT1 voltage using V1, IOUT1 current, VIN using V3 and input current from source.
8. Increase electronic load #1's current in 0.5-A steps from 0 A to 8 A, Record VOUT1 voltage using V1, IOUT1
current, VIN using V3 and input current from source for each step.
9. Set input voltage to 20 V.
10. Reduce the current of electronic load #1 from 8 A to 0 A, the current electronic load #1 in 0.5-A steps from
0 A to 8 A. Record VOUT1 voltage using V1, IOUT1 current, VIN using V3 and input current from source for
each step.
11. Similar technique can be used for VOUT2. Use S2 to enable VOUT2.
