4.2.1 Line and Load Regulation and Efficiency Measurement Procedure

  1. Set up the EVM as described in Section 2.1 and Section 4.2.2.
  2. Set the electronic load to draw 0 ADC.
  3. Increase VIN from 0 V to 12 V using a voltage meter to measure input voltage.
  4. Use the other voltage meter to measure output voltage, VOUT.
  5. Vary the load from 0 to 35 ADC. VOUT must remain in regulation as defined in Figure 5-3.
  6. Vary VIN from 5 V to 16 V. VOUT must remain in regulation as defined in Figure 5-3.
  7. Decrease the load to 0 A.
  8. Decrease VIN to 0 V.
