Use the following instructions to observe the transient overload performance:
- Configure the Jumper J6 position to desired
reference voltage for overcurrent protection as mentioned in Table 4-3.
- Configure the Jumper J5 and J7 in a good position
to set required current limiting threshold (IOCP) as per Table 4-3.
- Connect an electronic load (capable of applying load transients of up to 200A) between VOUT (Connector T2) and PGND (Connector T3) and leave the load disabled.
- Set the input supply voltage VIN to 12V and current limit of 200A.
- Connect the power supply between VIN (Connector T1) and PGND (Connector T3) and enable the power supply.
- Now apply an overload using the electronic load
in the range of IOCP < ILOAD < 2 × IOCP for a time
duration less than 250µs (blanking timer duration)
- Observe the waveforms using an oscilloscope.
