3.1 Testing Equipment

Power Supply: The input voltage source (VIN) should be a variable supply capable of 0 V to 36 V and source at least 5 A.

Multimeters:

  • Voltmeter 1: Input voltage, connect from VIN to PGND
  • Voltmeter 2: Output voltage, connect from VOUT to ISO_GND
  • Ammeter 1: Input current, must be able to handle 5 A. Shunt resistor can be used as needed.
  • Ammeter 2: Output current, must be able to handle 5 A. Shunt resistor can be used as needed.
Electronic Load: The load should be constant resistance (CR) or constant current (CC) capable. It should safely handle 4 A at 5 V.

Oscilloscope: 20-MHz bandwidth and AC coupling. Measure the output voltage ripple directly across an output capacitor with a short ground lead. It is not recommended to use a long-leaded ground connection due to the possibility of noise being coupled into the signal. To measure other waveforms, adjust the oscilloscope as needed.
