Test Summary 2.1 Test Summary The detailed test results and waveforms are presented in Figure 2–2 to Figure 2–7 for the SLVP128. The following are summarized results. 2.1.1 Static Line and Load Regulation The precise reference voltage regulator implemented in the TPS56100 controller using both positive and negative remote sense pins provides excellent regulation characteristics.
Figure 2–5. 2.1.6 Conclusion The test results of the SLVP128 EVM demonstrate the advantages of the TPS56100 controller to meet stringent supply requirements to power supplies, especially for powering DSPs and microprocessors. The power system designer has a good solution to optimize the system for his particular application.
0.020 V. 5) For subsequent testing, ensure the lab supply output current capacity and current limit are at least 5 A so that the SLVP128 can be operated at maxi- mum load of 6 A. 6) Refer to the Test Results for selected typical waveforms and operating conditions for verification of proper module operation.
