7 Test Procedure
7.1 Line/Load Regulation and Efficiency Measurement Procedure
1. Set up the EVM as described in
and
.
2. Ensure Load is set to constant resistance mode and to sink 0 A
DC
.
3. Ensure the switch S1 is set per
.
4. Increase VIN from 0 V to 12 V. Using V1 to measure VIN voltage.
5. Set the switch S1 to Enable position to enable the controller.
6. Use V2 to measure VOUT voltage, A1 to measure VIN current.
7. Vary load from 0 A
DC
to 8 A
DC
. V
OUT
should remain in load regulation.
8. Vary V
IN
from 8.0 V to 22 V. V
OUT
should remain in line regulation.
9. Set the switch S1 to Disable position to disable the controller.
10. Decrease load to 0 A.
11. Decrease VIN to 0 V.
