3. Connect input signal amplitude measurement probe (channel A) to TP7 as shown in
.
4. Connect output signal amplitude measurement probe (channel B) to TP5 as shown in
.
5. Connect ground lead of channel A and channel B to TP6 and TP8 as shown in
6. Inject 30 mV or less signal across R3 through isolation transformer.
7. Sweep frequency from 1 kHz to 1 MHz with 10-Hz or lower post filter.
8. Control loop gain can be measured by
9. Control loop phase can be measured by the phase difference between channel A and channel B.
10. Control to output response (power stage transfer function) can be measured by connecting channel A
probe to TP10 (COMP) and channel B probe to TP5 (CHB).
11. Output to control response (compensated error amplifier transfer function) can be measured by
connecting channel A probe to TP7 (CHA) and channel B probe to TP10 (COMP).
12. Follow
steps 6 and 7 to power down.
