Follow these steps to measure the control loop gain and phase on the TPS40193EVM-001.
- Connect 1-kHz to 1-MHz isolation transformer to
TP12 and TP13 as shown in Figure 5-3.
- Connect input signal amplitude measurement probe (Channel A) to TP12 as shown in Figure 5-3.
- Connect output signal amplitude measurement probe (Channel B) to TP13 as shown in Figure 5-3.
- Connect ground lead of Channel A and Channel B to
TP11 and TP14 as shown in Figure 5-3.
- Inject 30-mV (or less) signal across R14 through
isolation transformer.
- Sweep frequency from 1 kHz to 1 MHz, with 1-0Hz
or lower post filter.
- Control loop gain can be measured by Equation 2:
Equation 2. - Control loop phase is measured by the phase difference between Channel A and Channel B.
- Control to output response (power stage transfer function) can be measured by connecting Channel A probe to TP6 (COMP) and Channel B probe to TP13.
- Output to control response (error amplifier
transfer function) can be measured by connecting Channel B probe to TP6 (COMP)
and Channel A probe to TP12.
- Disconnect isolation transformer from TP12 and TP13 before making other measurements (signal injection into feedback may interfere with accuracy of other measurements).
