SLVUCY3A October 2024 – December 2024 LM65680-Q1
Voltage Source: The input voltage source VIN must be an 80V variable DC source capable of supplying 8A.
Multimeters:
Electronic Load: The load must be an electronic constant-resistance (CR) or constant-current (CC) mode capable of 0ADC to 15ADC. For a no-load input current measurement, disconnect the electronic load as the load can draw a small residual current.
Oscilloscope: With the scope set to 20MHz bandwidth and AC coupling, measure the output voltage ripple directly across an output capacitor with a short ground lead normally provided with the scope probe. Place the oscilloscope probe tip on the positive terminal of the output capacitor, holding the ground barrel of the probe through the ground lead to the negative terminal of the capacitor. TI does not recommend using a long-leaded ground connection because this can induce additional noise given a large ground loop. To measure other waveforms, adjust the oscilloscope as needed.
Safety: Always use caution when touching any circuits that can be live or energized.
