Follow the instructions to verify the current limit and various fault response modes like auto-retry, latch and circuit breaker with auto-retry:
- Set up the oscilloscope as listed in Table 4-8.
Table 4-8 TPS2640EVM
Oscilloscope Setting for the Current Limit TestOscilloscope Setting | CH1 Probe Points | CH2 Probe Points |
---|
Channel 1 = 10V / div | VOUT1 (TP3) | VOUT2 (TP12) |
Channel 2 = 10V / div | VIN1 (TP2) | VIN2 (TP11) |
Channel 4 = 2 A / div | Input current into T1 +Ve wire | Input current into T3 +Ve wire |
Trigger source = Channel 2 | | |
Trigger level = 12 V ±1V | | |
Trigger polarity = Rising | | |
Trigger mode = Single | | |
Time base | 100 ms / div | |
Note:
Measuring the current
limit value on the oscilloscope can easily cause ±10% error from the
typical expected values as listed in Table 4-9.
- Set the current limit to 2.23 A
by installing the J5/J12 jumper in position 1-2.
- The jumper setting for different current limits is shown in
Table 4-9.
- Set the current limit response to auto-retry by installing the J4/J11 jumper in
position 2-3.

3-4 | 1.5 |
5-6 | 1 |
7-8 | 0.2 |
- Set the load resistance to 6 Ω ±1
Ω and the power supply voltage to 24 V.
- Enable the load.
- Enable the power supply and verify the current limit
magnitude and auto-retry fault response waveform as shown in Figure 4-3.
- Disable the power supply.
- Set the current limit response mode to latch-off by installing
the J4/J11 jumper in the position 1-2.
- Set the load resistance to 6 Ω ±1 Ω and enable the load.
- Enable the power supply and verify the current limit magnitude the latch-off
fault response waveform as shown in the Figure 4-4.
- Once the device is latched-off,
either the power supply or the SHDNb should be recycled to re-enable it.
- Change the load resistance to 16 Ω ±1 Ω.
- Press and release the reset switch (S1/S2) to
re-enable the device from latch-off mode and verify the recovery or restart
waveform as shown in Figure 4-5.
- Disable the power supply.
- Set the current limit response mode to circuit breaker with
auto-retry by uninstalling the J4/J11 jumper.
- Set the load resistance to 6 Ω ±1 Ω and enable the load.
- Enable the power supply and verify the circuit breaker
with auto retry fault response waveform as shown in Figure 4-6.
