Notes on Power Up and Power Down
The following steps are guidelines for power up and power down of the EVM.
1. An ESD workstation is recommended. Make sure that an ionizer is on before the EVM is removed from
the protective packaging and power is applied to the EVM. Electrostatic smock and safety glasses
should also be worn.
2. Power Up
1. Set up an air cooling fan with minimum 400 LFM or 2.0 m/s forced airflow. This airflow direction
should point to the middle of DB1 and DB2 and towards transformer T2. The cooling fan should be
on throughout the test.
2. Prior to connecting the DC input source, limit the source current 1.0 A maximum. Make sure the
DC source is initially set at 390 V
DC
prior to turning on. Connect the DC source to the EVM as
shown in
3. Connect the current meters DMM2 and DMM4 as shown in
.
4. Connect the volt meter DMM1 and DMM3 as shown in
.
5. For operation with a load, connect the electronic load to the EVM as shown in
. Set the
LOAD to constant current mode with initial value of 1.0 A. Note: if the load less than 1.0 A, the
UCC25600 may be in burst operation and the EVM output voltage may start hiccup.
6. Turn on the DC source and observe the output voltage. Its output voltage should be at nominal 12
V
DC
.
7. Varying the load between 1.0 A and 25 A.
3. Power Down
1. Turn off the DC source.
2. Turn off the load.
