MEASURING GROUND CURRENT
Figure 8 shows the evaluation board connected to a voltage
source and an ammeter for ground current measurements. A
resistor can be used as the load for the regulator. Ensure that the
resistor has a power rating that is adequate to handle the power
expected to be dissipated across it. An electronic load can be used
as an alternative. Ensure that the voltage source used can supply
enough current for the expected load levels.
