6.2Output Characteristics

Line Regulation. Load Regulation. Output Regulation.

Output Voltage Set-Point Adjustment Range.

6.3Dynamic Characteristics

Maximum Output Voltage Deviation (due to step change in load).

6.4Thermal Characteristic Efficiency

7.0Test Set-Up

7.1Initial Set-Up

1)Examine the part number of the power module to determine that the correct module is being evaluated. Note: IPM12C0A0S04A and IPM04C0A0S06A would denote the SMT package, while IPM12C0A0R04A and IPM04C0A0R06A would denote the SIP package. This Evaluation Board can be used for both packages.

2)Set multimeter DMM1 to the DC current 20A range. Set multimeters DMM2 and DMM3 to DC voltage, auto ranging.

3)Electronic Load

Turn on the Electronic Load (or resistive load) and adjust the current level. The maximum rated output current is 4A for the model IPM12C0A0R04A series and 6A for the model IPM04C0A0R06A series. Ensure the output load does not exceed the recommended maximum current.

4)SW1 is used to enable or disable the converter. Turn SW1 to the OFF position to enable the converter, and turn SW1 to the ON position to disable the converter.

5)SW2 is used for On/Off Transient function test. Turn SW2 to the OFF position if this function is not being used. Turn SW2 to the ON position if the Transient function test is required.
