- Set up the EVM as described in Section 5.2 and Figure 5-1.
- Set the oscilloscope to the following:
- 1-MΩ input impedance
- 20-MHz Bandwidth
- AC coupling
- 1-μs/div horizontal resolution
- 10-mV/div vertical resolution
- Place the oscilloscope probe tip through TP5 and
hold the ground barrel to TP13 as shown in Figure 6-1. For a hands free approach, the loop in TP13 can be cut and opened to cradle
the probe barrel. V2 can have to be removed from these test points to allow the
oscilloscope to be connected.
- Increase VIN to 8 V.
- Vary LOAD1 from 0 A to 20 A and observe the
oscilloscope waveform.
- Repeat step 5 for various VIN values
up to 20 V.
- See Section 6.6 for equipment shutdown.
See Section 7.3 for typical ripple voltage results
