5.

 

Increase the input voltage to 5.0V and apply 70mA 
load and re-check regulation. 

6.

 

Measure the DC input current at V

IN 

= 5.0V  and 

I

OUT

 = 70mA. 

 

a.

 

For the DC627A-A, the input current should be 
less than 215mA. 

 

b.

 

For the DC627A-B, the input current should be 
less than 225mA.

 

7.

 

Monitor the output voltage ripple. Refer to Figure 2 
for the proper measurement technique.

 

8.

 

 Measure the output ripple frequency. 

 

a.

 

For the DC627A-A, the frequency should be be-
tween 1.0MHz and 1.7MHz. 

 

b.

 

For the DC627A-B, the frequency should be be-
tween 2.1MHz and 3.9MHz. 

 

NOTE:

 

If this circuit will be used in a hot plug applica-

tion, then be sure to measure the inrush current. The 
maximum non-repetitive surge current the internal 
schottky can handle is 1.5A. The inrush current can 
be monitored by measuring the current through the 
inductor when V

IN

 is initially applied. Refer to the data 

sheet for more details.
