Reference Board BMR 481 P1E+ Power-up and Power-down Instructions Power-up instruction • Make sure Enable switch is in OFF position • Make sure jumpers are populated in J11 and J12 (position 15) to 1. connect VDD and VCC 2. connect VCTRL and VCC 3.
Reference Board BMR 481 P1E+ Board Supplies Above input voltage VIN, supplies according to the Table 1 are used at the test board. By jumper connectors J11 and J12 (position 15 in Figure 1a) the supplies can be interconnected. Supply Description May be Supply jumped to...
Reference Board BMR 481 P1E+ Address Resistor Adjustment of address resistor To change the address, change the resistor shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 Address resistor position, R6, is shown in the picture. Change resistors R6 (SA) to achieve the desired PMBus address for the MAIN module.
Reference Board BMR 481 P1E+ Test Points and Sense Locations VIN/VOUT test points Input voltage should be measured at test points TP7/TP29/K15 (position 7c) which are connected directly to the VIN/GND pins of MAIN module (PHASE 1) at the Test board. Alternative test points are TP25/TP26, connected to VIN/GND pins of PHASE 2 at the Test board.
Reference Board BMR 481 P1E+ Additional Output Capacitance If additional output capacitance is desired, the possibility exists to mount extra electrolytic and/or ceramic capacitors, see Figure 3. Space for additional output capacitors Figure 3 Space for additional output capacitors. Current Sense termination R78 - R87 (position 20) are used to terminate the current sense wire when SATELLITEs are not mounted.
Reference Board BMR 481 P1E+ Electronic loads In order to perform load transient tests on the modules, up to 5 pcs of PuLS loads can be connected to the output of the board, see position 10 in Fig 1a. The PuLS loads (ROA 128 5552/1) can be programmed for different transient loads and waveforms, see the technical specification for further information.
