2 Test Setup and Results
This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS54332EVM-416 evaluation module.
The section also includes test results typical for the evaluation module and covers efficiency, output voltage
regulation, load transients, loop response, output ripple, input ripple, and start-up.
2.1 Input / Output Connections
The TPS54332EVM-416 is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in
. A power
supply capable of supplying 3 A must be connected to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The load must be
connected to J4 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The maximum load current capability must be 3.5 A. Wire
lengths must be minimized to reduce losses in the wires. Test-point TP1 provides a place to monitor the V
IN
input
voltages with TP2 providing a convenient ground reference. TP5 is used to monitor the output voltage with TP6
as the ground reference.
