Use the following instructions to observe the Quick Output Discharge (QOD) functionality:
- Set the input supply voltage VIN to 12V and current limit to 10A. 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 0.8V–1.1V with the input voltage of 9.8V–13.5V.
- Observe the waveforms of VIN (TP5), VOUT (TP6), PG (TP20), and EN (TP22) using an oscilloscope.
In Figure 5-14, the turn-off performance of the TPS25984B eFuse with QOD enabled is shown, whereas Figure 5-15 illustrates the turn-off performance with QOD disabled on the TPS25984BEVM eFuse evaluation board.
VIN = 12V, COUT = 470µF, and EN Pulled Low to 0.8V
