TPS22810 Load Switch Evaluation Module
3.3.2
Rise Time Test Setup
Use the following instructions to measure the rise time of the TPS22810 for CH1 (CH2):
1. Uninstall jumper J1 (J5).
2. Set the load resistance to 12
Ω
at terminal T2 (T4) and input supply voltage to 12 V at terminal T1
(T3). Enable the power supply and the load.
3. Apply a square wave (10-Hz frequency with 50% duty cycle) to the EN/UVLO pin at TP6 (TP14) of the
load switch using a function generator.
4. Observe the waveform at VOUT1, TP4 (TP12) with an oscilloscope to measure the slew rate and rise
time of the load switch with a given input voltage of 12 V.
5. Change the default 22-nF CT capacitor C4 (C8) to vary the output voltage rise time.

Quick Output Discharge (QOD) Test Setup
Use the following instructions to measure the VOUT fall time of the TPS22810 for CH1 (CH2):
1. Uninstall jumper J2 (J6) to set QOD = OPEN
2. Set the load resistance to 1000
Ω
at terminal T2 (T4) and input supply voltage to 12 V at terminal T1
(T3). Enable the power supply and the load.
3. Apply a square wave (5-Hz frequency with 50% duty cycle) to the EN/UVLO pin at TP6 (TP14) of the
load switch using a function generator.
4. Observe the waveform at VOUT1, TP4 (TP12) with an oscilloscope to measure the fall time of the load
switch.
5. Change the jumper J2 (J6) setting to 1-2 position, which sets 511-
Ω
external resistance in series with
the QOD pin. Observe the waveform at VOUT1, TP4 (TP12).
6. Change the jumper J2 (J6) setting to 5-6 position to set QOD = VOUT. Observe the waveform at
VOUT1, TP4 (TP12).
