Recommended Operating Conditions

The ACT8865EVK1-305 is designed for a 5V input voltage. The maximum operating voltage is determined by
the IC's maximum input voltage rating. The minimum operating voltages are determined by the buck converters'
minimum input voltage and by the LDOs' dropout voltages. Maximum currents are determined by the IC's CMI
settings, which can be changed via I2C after startup.

Measuring Output Voltage Ripple

To observe the output voltage ripple, place the oscilloscope probe across the output capacitor with the probe
ground lead connected to the negative (-) capacitor terminal and the probe tip placed at the positive (+) capacitor
terminal. Set the oscilloscope to ac,5mV/division, 1us/division time base, and 20MHz bandwidth.
A standard oscilloscope probe has a long wire ground clip. For high frequency measurements, this ground clip
picks up high frequency noise and injects it into the measured output ripple. Figure 4 shows an easy way to
measure the output ripple properly. It requires removing the oscilloscope probe sheath and wrapping an
unshielded wire around the oscilloscope probe as short as possible, the true ripple can be measured.
