Test Equipment
Power Supply: The input voltage source (VIN) should be a variable supply capable of 0V to 20V and
source at least 15A.
Multi-meters:
•
Voltmeter 1: Input voltage, connect from VIN to VIN-
•
Voltmeter 2: Output voltage, connect from VOUT to GND
•
Ammeter 1: Input current, must be able to handle 15A. Shunt resistor can be used as needed.
•
Ammeter 2: Output current, must be able to handle 3A. Shunt resistor can be used as needed.
Electronic Load: The load should be constant resistance (CR) or constant current (CC) capable. It should
safely handle 3A at 12V.
Oscilloscope: 20-MHz bandwidth and AC coupling. Measure the output voltage ripple directly across an
output capacitor with a short ground lead. It is not recommended to use a long-leaded ground connection
due to the possibility of noise being coupled into the signal. To measure other waveforms, adjust the
oscilloscope as needed.
