Test Procedure
Use the following steps to test the EVM:
1. Set the power-supply output VIN to 0 V.
2. Turn on the power supply and set the output voltage and current limit according to
.

3. Turn off the power supply. Hook up CH1 and CH2 of the PWR637 assembly as shown in
.
4. The default EVM jumper setting is shown in

5. CH1 and CH2 can be tested one by one for PWR637.
6. Ensure that the output load is disabled and the power supply is set properly for the design under test
(DUT). Connect the negative probe of DMM to TP1, TP7, TP12, or TP13 (GND). Turn on the power
supply, and verify that the voltages shown in
are obtained.

4.3.1.1
CH1 (J1)
Use the following steps to test CH1 (J1).
1. Press the EVM RST switch, S1, and verify that the voltage at VOUT1 (TP5) starts falling slowly below
12 V and the FLTb1 red LED (D3) turns ON. Release S1.
2. Reduce the input voltage on VIN1 and monitor VOUT1. Verify that VOUT1 (TP5) starts falling and is
fully turned off when VIN1 (TP6) reaches 4.2 V (M 0.3 V). Verify that the FLTb1 red LED (D3) turns
ON.
3. Adjust the power supply voltage to 12 V.
4. Increase the input voltage on VIN1 and monitor VOUT1. Verify that VOUT1 (TP5) starts increasing and
then turns off when VIN1 (TP6) exceeds 17 V (M 1 V). Verify that the FLTb1 red LED (D3) turns ON.
5. Adjust the power supply voltage to 12 V.
6. Turn off the power supply.
