Document 39011280 2.4 T ERMINOLOGY Slew Rate – The change in current per unit of time (di/dt). Usually discussed in amps per microsecond. = Rise Time – The time required for a signal to rise from 10% to 90% of the steady state values.
Document 39011280 PERATING THE LAMMER 3.1 P HYSICAL ONNECTION TO 3.1.1 Placement Location Placement of the LoadSlammer Pro on the DUT (Device Under Test) is crucial. For best results, place the LoadSlammer Pro as close to the load as possible to include all the effects of the PDN.
Document 39011280 3.1.2.3 Passive Adapter Passive adapters are the best way to connect the LoadSlammer to a DUT. The adapter sits in place of a large BGA package to allow connection of the LoadSlammer on an application board. LoadSlammer offers custom passive adapter design services to provide a higher level of confidence in the test results, from design reviews to turnkey development for your application.
LAMMER 3.2.1 USB Data Connection The LoadSlammer Pro Mini devices require only a USB 2.0 type-C connection; no external power is required. The LoadSlammer Pro 1000 requires external 24V power in addition to the USB 2.0 Mini-B connection. 3.2.2 Voltage Sense...
Document 39011280 devices’ status indicator light will turn green indicating the device is in slave mode and ready to test. The voltage measurements are taken only from the master device. 3.3 T ODES The LoadSlammer Pro family has several modes of operation and is field upgradeable to offer additional functionality.
Document 39011280 3.3.3 Impedance Impedance mode applies a sinusoidal load transient and measures voltage amplitude to determine the large signal impedance. There are several ways to interpret this data. One way is to look at the amplitude response of the voltage over frequency, known as output impedance. Complementary, analyzing the spectral content at each applied frequency can inform on where the non-linarites of the system are located.
