5.3 Test Points and Placement
Buck converter outputs are red and have a label for easy location. Close to any of these test points there are
black ground test points to allow for DVM measurement or to use a metal exposed scope probe to reduce
common mode noise measurements. All test points are described in
Table 5-2. Test Points and Placement
