2.1.2 Test Equipment

Voltage Source: Use an input voltage source capable of supplying 0V to 24V and 12A. Use an another EN voltage source capable of supplying 0V to 5V and 1A.

Multimeters:

  • Voltmeter 1: Input voltage at VIN_SNS to GND_SNS. Set the voltmeter to an input impedance of 100MΩ.
  • Voltmeter 2: Output voltage at VOUT_SNS to GND_SNS. Set the voltmeter to an input impedance of 100MΩ.
  • Ammeter 1: Input current. Set the ammeter to 1-second aperture time.
  • Ammeter 2: Output current. Set the ammeter to 1-second aperture time.

Electronic Load: The load must be an electronic constant-resistance (CR) or constant-current (CC) mode load capable of 0ADC to 12ADC at 5.15V. For a no-load input current measurement, disconnect the electronic load as the load can draw a small residual current.

Oscilloscope: With the scope set to 20MHz bandwidth and AC coupling, measure the output voltage ripple directly across an output capacitor with a short ground lead normally provided with the scope probe. Place the oscilloscope probe tip on the positive terminal of the output capacitor, holding the ground barrel of the probe through the ground lead to the negative terminal of the capacitor. TI does not recommend using a long-leaded ground connection because this can induce additional noise given a large ground loop. To measure other waveforms, adjust the oscilloscope as needed.

Safety: Always use caution when touching any circuits that can be live or energized.
