By soldering the desired device to the evaluation board, the user can easily validate several parameters of the device. 1.2.1 Funtional Blocks The SOT23-3 Voltage Regulator Evaluation Board can be broken up into 3 functional blocks. These blocks are as follows: • Input Capacitance • Ground Current Measurement •...
Jumpers have been placed on the board to ease the test of the specific voltage regulator parameters. The SOT23-3 Voltage Regulator Evaluation Board kit comes with a 1 μF ceramic input and output capacitor soldered to the board. The board has two unpopulated resistor locations that may be used for loads.

Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) Power Supply Rejection Ratio tests are performed by removing the input capacitor jumper, JP1, and connecting an appropriate PSRR analyzer to the SOT23-3 Voltage Regulator Evaluation Board. The PSRR analyzer may then sweep the input voltage frequencies and record the corresponding output voltages.
