Use the following instructions to observe the Quick Output Discharge (QOD) functionality:
- Set the input supply voltage VIN to 12 V and current limit to 10 A. Turn ON the power supply.
- Use the switch SW1 to connect the EN/UVLO pin to ground to do power cycling.
- Use the switch SW2 to enable the QOD by making the voltage at EN/UVLO pin in
the range of 0.8 V–1.1 V with the input voltage of 9.8 V–13.5 V.
- Observe the waveforms of VIN (TP5), VOUT (TP6), PG (TP20), and EN (TP22) using an oscilloscope.
In Figure 5-18, the turn-off performance of the TPS25984 eFuse with QOD enabled is shown,
whereas Figure 5-19 illustrates the turn-off performance with QOD disabled on the TPS25984EVM eFuse
evaluation board.
VIN = 12 V, COUT = 470 µF, and EN Pulled Low to 0.8 V
