4.2 External Connections for Easy Evaluation

The UCC14341EVM-069 EVM uses screw terminals for quickly connecting to the VIN, VDD ,and VEE pins. Connecting the appropriate ammeters and voltmeters, as shown in Typical Efficiency Measurement Setup, allows accurate EVM efficiency measurements to be made.

Connecting Test Equipment

  1. Move jumper SH-J1 into the J2:1-2, EN OFF position. This makes sure the EVM cannot start while test equipment is being connected.
  2. Connect a +5 V DC bias power supply to J1:1-2 (+3.3 V to +5 V). Set the power supply to 0 V. The +5 V supply at J1 serves as the pullup bias for /PG and ENA. Turn off/disable the +5V DC Bias power supply.
  3. Connect the VIN DC power supply capable of 10 V<VIN<20 V, 300 mA at J4:1-2 (VIN). Adjust the power supply to 15 V, and set the current limit to 300 mA. Set the power supply voltage to 12 V. Turn off/disable the VIN power supply.
  4. Connect a variable load between J3:1 (VDD) and J3:3 (VEE). If using an electronic load, set to constant current (CC), 68 mA. Leave the load disabled until the EVM is powered.
  5. Connect a second load between J3:2 (COM) and J3:3 (VEE). If using an electronic load, set to constant current (CC), 10 mA. Leave the load disabled until the EVM is powered. Since the required load is small, a through-hole, 250-mW, 400-Ω load resistor can be connected between J3:2-3.
  6. Some electronic loads are not be able to regulate/stabilize CC when setting in the low mA range. Monitor the input current and load currents by inserting ammeters, A1-A3, as shown in Typical Efficiency Measurement Setup. Use a current probe with the oscilloscope to verify the stability of the DC current being regulated by an electronic load.
