Use the following instructions to perform the overvoltage protection test:
- Set the input supply voltage VIN to 12 V and current limit to 100 A. Apply the supply between VIN (Connector T1) and PGND (Connector T3) and enable the power supply.
- Apply a load of 1.2 Ω between VOUT (Connector T2) and PGND (Connector T3).
- Increase the input supply VIN from 12 V to 18 V and observe the waveforms using
an oscilloscope.

Evaluation Board.
Note: The input TVS diodes must be removed during the
overvoltage protection test. Make sure to put the diodes back after this
experiment.
