EVM Setup

4.1Recommended Test Equipment

The following test equipment is recommended:

∙Two-channel storage oscilloscope

∙Current probe

∙Voltage probe

∙3.6 V at 2-A power supply

∙Volt-ohm meter

4.2Calculating Voltage Drop and Load Current

The user should read the applicable data sheet before using the EVM.

Figure 4-1shows the EVM test setup for measuring input and output voltage. The load switch is enabled

into a passive on-board load for this measurement. After measuring the voltages at both VIN and VOUT, the voltage drop across the switch as well as the load current can be calculated from the following equations:

VDROP = VIN – VOUT ILOAD = VOUT / RLOAD
