4.4 Control Loop Gain and Phase Measurement Procedure
1. Connect a 1-kHz to 1-MHz isolation transformer to TP2 and TP3 as shown in
2. Connect an input signal amplitude measurement probe (Channel A) to TP2 as shown in
.
3. Connect an output signal amplitude measurement probe (Channel B) to TP3 as shown in
4. Connect the ground lead of Channel A and Channel B to TP 4 as shown in
5. Inject 25-mV or less signal across R7 through an isolation transformer.
6. Sweep frequency from 1 kHz to 1 MHz with 10-Hz or lower post filter.
7. Control loop gain can be measured by
20 × LOG
CℎannelB
CℎannelA
.
8. Control loop phase is measured by the phase difference between Channel A and Channel B.
9. Disconnect the isolation transformer from TP2 and TP3 before making other measurements (signal injection
into feedback can interfere with accuracy of other measurements).
4.5 Equipment Shutdown
1. Shut down the oscilloscope.
2. Shut down LOAD1.
3. Shut down V
12V_IN
.
4. Shut down FAN.
