4.1Connect one lead from the “+” lead of the power supply to the “20A” terminal of the first multimeter DMM1. Then connect one lead from the “Common” of the DMM1 to the “Vin” pin of the Evaluation Board. Set function of DMM1 to DCA to measure the input current.

4.2Connect one wire from the “-” lead of the power supply (Item 3.1) to the “Vin-“ pin of the Evaluation Board. Note: Use stranded leads at least equivalent to 14 AWG for all connections in sections 4.1 and 4.2.

4.3Connect the plus “+” and minus “-“ connection leads from a second multimeter to the “SVin+” and “SVin-” Pins on the Evaluation Board. This multimeter is designated DMM2 to measure the input voltage.

4.4Connect the plus “+” and minus “-“ connection leads from the third multimeter to the “SVout+” and “SVout-” Pin on the Evaluation Board. The multimeter is designated DMM3. DMM3 is used to measure the output voltage.

4.5Connect a BNC cable (length less than 20 inches/500mm) from BNC1 of the Evaluation Board to Channel 1 of the oscilloscope (item 3.2). This cable is used to measure the input voltage (between SVin+ and SVin-).

4.6Connect a BNC cable (length less than 20 inches/500mm) from BNC2 of the Evaluation Board to Channel 2 of the oscilloscope. This cable is used to measure the output voltage (between SVout+ and SVout-).

4.7Connect the positive and negative power leads of the electronic load (ensuring correct polarity), or an appropriate resistive load, to the Evaluation Board output terminal pin (“+Vout” for positive power lead and “-Vout” for the negative power lead).

4.8For IPM04C series: Open J2 on the Evaluation Board. Connect one lead from the “+” lead of the power supply to the “12Vcc” on the Evaluation Board. Then connect one lead from the “-” of the power supply to the “12VGND” on the Evaluation Board. For IPM12C: short J2 on the Evaluation Board.

5.0Thermal Management of the Converter

It is imperative that sufficient airflow should be provided to the converter at all times during all portions of testing. Please refer to the applicative data sheet for the proper cooling and derating necessary to achieve accurate results when testing the converter.
