5.2 Power Up

To verify the startup behavior, connect the oscilloscope to the evaluation module:

  • Channel 1 - Input Voltage (Test Point Label VIN)
  • Channel 2 - Output Voltage (Test Point Label VOUT)
  • Channel 3 - DGATE Voltage (Test Point Label DGATE)
  • Channel 4 - HGATE Voltage (Test Point Label HGATE)
Set the load to 200 mA, trigger to Channel 1 rising and turn ON the power supply. Startup behavior of LM74810EVM-CD is captured in Figure 5-2.

Additional startup information is captured in Figure 5-3. Channel 3 captures the charge pump voltage on VCAP pin during startup. Charge pump turns on when POR threshold on VIN is reached and builds up to 13.5 V above VIN.
