4.4 Output Ripple Voltage Measurement Procedure

See Section 5.3 for more information on measuring output ripple.

  1. Increase VIN from 0 Vdc to 12 Vdc.
  2. Adjust LOAD1 to desired load between 0 Adc and 1.5 Adc.
  3. Adjust LOAD2 to desired load between 0 Adc and 2.5 Adc.
  4. Adjust VIN to desired load between 9.6 Vdc and 13.2 Vdc.
  5. Connect an oscilloscope probe to TP3 and TP4 or TP18 and TP19 as shown in Figure 4-2.
  6. Measure output ripple.
  7. Decrease VIN to 0 Vdc.
  8. Decrease LOAD1 to 0 A.
  9. Decrease LOAD2 to 0 A.
