4.1.1
Line and Load Regulation and Efficiency Measurement Procedure
Set up the EVM
Section 2.1.2
as and
Section 4.1.2
describe.
Set the electronic load to draw 0A
DC
.
Increase V
IN
from 0V to 12V using voltage meter to measure input voltage.
Use the other voltage meter to measure output voltage V
OUT
.
Vary the load from 0A to 50A
DC
. V
OUT
must remain in regulation as defined in
Table 2-1
.
Vary V
IN
from 5V to 18V. V
OUT
must remain in regulation as defined in
Table 2-1
.
Decrease the load to 0A.
Decrease V
IN
to 0V.
