4.1 Measurements

The following procedures are used to configure a measurement evaluation with an electronic load. For the following instructions, y = A to D for the A1 to A4 gain variants, respectively.

  1. According to Figure 4-1, for a low-side measurement, connect the electronic load positive input terminal to the positive terminal of a 30-A capable hot-supply. For a high-side measurement, connect the electronic load positive input terminal to the load sourcing terminal (IN+ or IN–) of the EVM. For high-side measurement of forward current, IN– sources to the electronic load; for reverse current, IN+ sources to the load.
  2. Connect the electronic load negative output terminal to the external hot supply GND terminal for high-side measurements, or to the load sinking terminal of the EVM for low-side measurements.
  3. For high-side measurements, connect the external supply to the load sinking terminal of the EVM. Otherwise, for low-side measurements, connect the load sourcing terminal of the EVM (IN+ or IN–) to the external supply gnd.
  4. Turn on all the connected supplies.
  5. Apply load with electronic load.
  6. Measure the output voltage at the VOUT test point.
Note:

The output voltage is equal to an offset plus the gain of the device multiplied by the load current passing through the leadframe of the DUT. For bidirectional devices, the offset is the product of the device supply voltage and 0.5. For unidirectional devices, the offset is the product of the device supply voltage and 0.1.
