4.2.1 Procedure

  1. Working at an ESD workstation, make sure that any wrist straps, bootstraps or mats are connected referencing the user to earth ground before power is applied to the EVM. Electrostatic smock and safety glasses should also be worn.
  2. Prior to connecting the dc input source, VIN, it is advisable to limit the source current from VIN to 5.0 A maximum. Make sure VIN is initially set to 0 V and connected as shown in Figure 4-1.
  3. Connect the ammeter A1 (0-5 A range) between VIN and J1 as shown in Figure 4-1.
  4. Connect voltmeter V1 to TP1 and TP2 as shown in Figure 4-1.
  5. Connect LOAD1 to J2 as shown in Figure 4-1. Set LOAD1 to constant current mode to sink 0 ADC before VIN is applied.
  6. Connect voltmeter, V2 across TP3 and TP4 as shown in Figure 4-1.
  7. Connect LOAD2 to J3 as shown in Figure 4-1. Set LOAD2 to constant current mode to sink 0 ADC before VIN is applied.
  8. Connect voltmeter, V3 across TP18 and TP19 as shown in Figure 4-1.
  9. Place fan as shown in Figure 4-1 and turn on, making sure air is flowing across the EVM.
