2-Port Shunt-Through Measurement of the TPS62A01 Output PDN

Figure 4-1 shows an Application Circuit to perform a two-port shunt-through measurement, the TPS62A01 Output PDN is evaluated.

Figure 4-1 2-Port Shunt-Through Measurement of the TPS62A01 Output PDN

The VNA Output (TX) is connected to the output PDN through a direct connection. The VNA Input (RX) is connected to the output of the PDN through a semi-floating differential amplifier on the VNA RX side.

Residual impedance will directly affect very low impedance measurements. Thus, making sure connections length are kept as short as possible will ensure a better fit to actual PDN behavior over frequency. Ensuring tight connections also helps reducing parasitic coupling effects and allow more accurate results.
