Use the following instructions to perform the overvoltage protection test:
- Set the input supply voltage VIN to 12V and current limit to 100A. Apply the supply between VIN (Connector T1) and PGND (Connector T3) and enable the power supply.
- Apply a load of 1.2Ω between VOUT (Connector T2) and PGND (Connector T3).
- Increase the input supply VIN from 12V to 18V and observe the waveforms using an oscilloscope.
Figure 5-10 shows overvoltage lockout response of TPS25984B eFuse on TPS25984BEVM eFuse Evaluation Board.
Note: The input TVS diodes must be removed during the overvoltage protection test. Make sure to put the diodes back after this experiment.
