Loop Response Measurement
The loop response of the EVM can be measured with two simple changes to the circuitry. First, cut the
trace between the VOS pin and the output capacitor on the top layer. This change is shown in
Second, install a 10-
Ω
resistor across the resistor pads on the back of the PCB at R13. The pads are
spaced to allow installation of an 0603-sized resistor. With these changes, an ac signal (10-mV, peak-to-
peak amplitude recommended) can be injected into the control loop across the added resistor. Details of
measuring the control loop of DCS-Control devices are found in
