Use the following instructions to perform current limit test.
- Place jumper J9 in 3-4 Position to set 2 ms for ITIMER.
- Set the input supply voltage VIN to 12 V and current limit of 25 A and enable the power supply.
- Place jumper J10 in 7-8 Position to set 18 A current limit.
- Set the electronic load to 17 A and connect between VOUT and GND. Enable the electronic load.
- Now apply overload of 7 A (using resistive load of 1.66 Ohm) between VOUT and GND.
- The device allows the overload current for the programmed ITIMER period for example, 2 ms and then switches OFF.
- Place jumper J10 at other settings to test at various current limits.
Figure 3-3 shows an example of current limit at 18 A on the TPS25983EVM eFuse Evaluation
Board.
