Test Recommendations
Recommendations
To guarantee measurement accuracy, the following precautions should be observed:
1. Make all input and output voltage measurements at the board using the test
points provided (TP18 to TP21). This will eliminate voltage drop across the
line and load cables that can produce false readings.
2. Measure input and output current with series ammeters or accurate shunt
resistors. This is especially important when measuring efficiency.
3. Use a low-loop-inductance scope probe tip shown below to measure
switching signals and input / output ripple to avoid noise coupling into the
probe ground lead. Input ripple, output ripple, and load transient deviation are
best measured near the respective input / output capacitors. For more
accurate ripple measurement, please see Enpirion App Note regarding this
subject (
www.altera.com/enpirion
).
4. The board includes a pull-up resistor for the POK signal and ready to monitor
the power OK status at clip lead marked POK.
5. A 47nF soft-start capacitor is populated on the board for ~3msec soft-start
time.
6. The over-current protection circuit typically limits the maximum load current to
approximately 1.5X the rated value.
