Use the following
instructions to observe the Quick Output Discharge (QOD)
functionality:
- Set the input supply voltage VIN to 12
V and current limit to 10 A. Turn ON the power
supply.
- Use the switch SW1 to connect the
EN/UVLO pin to ground to do power cycling (QOD is
disabled).
- Use the
switch SW2 to enable the QOD by making the voltage
at EN/UVLO pin in the range of 0.8 V–1.1 V with
the input voltage of 9.8 V–13.5 V (QOD is
enabled).
- Observe the waveforms of VIN (TP3),
VOUT (TP4), PG (TP21), and EN (TP22) using an
oscilloscope.
In Figure 5-16, the turn-off performance of the TPS25990 eFuse with QOD
enabled is shown, whereas Figure 5-17 illustrates the turn-off performance with QOD disabled on
the TPS25990EVM.
