Use the basic setup in Figure 4-8 to evaluate the
design PCB. The board is connected through a PHI board to a PC running the
TIDA-010249 software.
The following components are required
to run all tests:
Reference design PCB (with the
parallel or daisy-chain assembly configuration)
5.2-V power supply, set to a
300-mA limit
PHI board
PC running the reference design
software
Shunts, and various loads (100 Ω
to 300 Ω, 0.25 W)
Waveform generator (±10-V output,
up to 100 Hz to 15 kHz), for THD measurement the generator must have very low
distortion (< –100 dB), 16 MHz needs to be supported for clock rejection
The PSI EVM is a good and
affordable choice to generate a clean 2-kHz signal
4-channel analog scope (for the
synchronicity test)
For current source measurement:
current source with current sink capability, and output up to 23 V
For testing with a sensor, a
standard IEPE sensor is required, with a shielded cable connected with PCB BNC
input. Four sensors can be used for the 4-channel testing.
For controlled testing with a
sensor, use a sensor emulator which can be fed with a known signal to generate
deterministic output
