Test Procedure
5.1
Line and Load Regulation and Efficiency Measurement Procedure
1. Ensure load is set to constant resistance mode and to sink 0 ADC.
2. Ensure a jumper is on J302 on the EVM to set the EVM at OFF position before VIN and V5VIN are
applied.
3. Increase VIN from 0 to 12 V. Using V1 to measure input voltage.
4. Increase V5VIN from 0 to 5 V. Using V2 to measure input voltage.
5. Remove the jumper on J302 to enable the controller.
6. Turn on the fan.
7. Vary load from 0-25 ADC, VOUT should remain in load regulation.
8. Vary VIN from 12 to 19 V, VOUT should remain in line regulation.
9. Decrease load to 0 A.
10. Put a jumper to short J302 to disable the controller.
11. Decrease V5VIN to 0 V.
12. Decrease VIN to 0 V.
