    Curiosity Development Board User’s Guide J13 – This jumper sets the effective resistor divider feedback ratio for the SMPS output voltage when it is measured by the U1 ADC. When the SMPS is used to generate rel- atively low voltages (ex: 0V-6.5V), it is suggested to keep J13 capped to maximize feedback circuit sensitivity.

    Curiosity Development Board User’s Guide 2.5.5 Transient Load Tester Circuit The MOSFET Q8 and surrounding components implement an adjustable constant-current sink that can be periodically pulsed on for a few milliseconds at a time to generate momentary SMPS output load transient pulses. During control loop firm- ware development, it is often desirable to study the control system behavior in response to large signal step changes.

  • Page 20: High-Side Current Sensing

    Curiosity Development Board User’s Guide HIGH-SIDE CURRENT SENSING The SMPS on-time current can be measured by the voltage developed across the high-side current sense resistors, R59 and R74. However, the ISENSEH signal is referenced to the +5V input rail of the SMPS circuit (not to ground), which prevents it from being measured directly by the ADC or comparators in the microcontroller U1.
