EVM Connectors and Test Points

Wire-loop test points and scope probe sockets are included for digital voltmeters (DVM) or oscilloscope probes to aid in the evaluation of the device. Table 2-1 describes each test point (1).

Table 2-1 Test Point Descriptions
Test Point Description
PVIN S+ Input voltage monitor. Connect the positive lead of a DVM to this point for measuring efficiency.
PVIN S- Input voltage monitor. Connect the negative lead of a DVM to this point for measuring efficiency.
RS+ Output voltage monitor. Connect the positive lead of a DVM to this point for measuring efficiency, line regulation and load regulation.
RS- Output voltage monitor. Connect the negative lead of a DVM to this point for measuring efficiency, line regulation and load regulation.
AGND Analog ground test point.
PGND Power ground test point.
PVIN Scope (J2) Input voltage scope monitor. Connect an oscilloscope probe to this set of points to measure input ripple voltage.
VOUT Scope (J1) Output voltage scope monitor. Connect an oscilloscope probe to this set of points to measure output ripple voltage and transient response.
ENABLE (J10) Enable test point. This test point can be used to monitor the EN voltage or to connect the EN pin to AGND to disable the device using a jumper wire. Additionally, for ease of use, J10 can be set in the ON position to enable the device or in the OFF position to disable the device.
PGOOD Monitors the power good signal of the device. This is an open drain signal.
SYNC Frequency synchronization pin. Connect the clock signal to the SYNC and AGND test points when synchronizing to an external clock. Additionally, set MODE jumper (J9) to CLK.
ISH Current sharing test point. This test point can be used to monitor the shared current between the two devices.
VSH Voltage sharing test point. This test point can be used to monitor the shared voltage between the two devices.
