Figure 4-2 is the recommended test setup to evaluate the TPS51513EVM-549. Working at an ESD
workstation, ensure that any wrist straps, bootstraps, or mats are connected,
referencing the user to earth ground before handling the EVM.
Input Connections:
- Prior to connecting the dc input source,
VIN, it is advisable to limit the source current from
VIN to 10 A maximum. Ensure that VIN is initially set
to 0 V as shown in Figure 4-2.
- Connect a voltmeter V1 at TP1 (VIN) and TP2 (GND)
to measure the input voltage.
- Connect a current meter A1 between VIN
DC source and J1.
Output Connections
- Connect Load to J2, J3, and set Load to constant
resistance mode to sink 0 ADC before VIN is applied.
- Connect a voltmeter V2 at TP5 (VOUT) and TP8
(GND) to measure the output voltage.
Other Connections:
Place a fan as shown in Figure 4-2, and turn it on, ensuring that air is flowing across the EVM.
