Test Procedures
Use the following procedures for testing:
1. The operational voltage range of the two rails VIN1 and VIN2 can be adjusted by changing a few
resistor settings, as listed in

2. Turn on the power supply and set the power supply voltage to 12 V on CH1 and CH2.
3. Turn off the power supply. Hook up CH1 and CH2 of the PWR635 assembly as shown in
.
4. Ensure that the output load is disabled and the power supply is set properly for the DUT. Connect the
negative probe of DMM to TP12 or TP25 (GND) to the test points in
.
5. Turn on the power supply. Verify that the voltages shown in
are obtained. Use only one power
supply at a time for this verification.

Preliminary Test
Use the steps in the following sections for preliminary testing.
4.4.1.1
For CH1 (J3-J2)
1. With the power supply set to 12 V on CH1, verify that the red LED (D2) is off. Press the EVM RST
switch (S1) and verify that the voltage at VOUT1 (TP2) starts falling slowly below 12 V and that the
FLTb1 red LED (D2) turns ON. Release S1.
2. Reduce the input voltage on VIN1 and monitor VOUT1. Verify that VOUT1 (TP2) starts falling and is
fully turned off when VIN1 (TP3) reaches 9.5 V (±0.5 V). Verify that the FLTb1 red LED (D2) turns ON.
3. Increase the input voltage on VIN1 and monitor VOUT1. Verify that VOUT1(TP2) starts increasing and
is fully turned off when VIN1 (TP3) reaches 16.5 V (±1 V). Verify that the FLTb1 red LED (D2) turns
ON.
4.4.1.2
For CH2 (J8-J7)
1. With the power supply set to 12 V on VIN2, press the EVM RST switch (S2) and verify that the voltage
at VOUT2 (TP16) starts falling slowly below 12 V and that the green PG LED (D7) turns off and the
RED FLTb2 LED (D6) turns on. Release S2.
2. Reduce the input voltage on VIN2 and monitor VOUT2. Verify that VOUT2 (TP16) starts falling and is
