Figure 2 shows the basic test setup that is recommended to evaluate the TPS53125EVM-599. Note that although the return for J3 and J1 and JP2 are the same system ground, the connections must remain separate as shown in Figure 2.
5.2.1Test Procedure
1.When working at an ESD workstation, ensure that wrist straps, bootstraps, or mats are connected referencing the user to earth ground before power is applied to the EVM. Electrostatic smock and safety glasses are also recommended.
2.Prior to connecting the dc input source, VIN, it is advisable to limit the source current from VIN to 3 Adc maximum. Ensure that VIN is initially set to 0 V and connected as shown in Figure 2.
3.Verify SW1 and SW2 are in the desired position.
4.Increase VIN from 0 V to 12 Vdc.
5.Vary VIN between 8 Vdc and 22 Vdc.
6.Vary LOAD1 between 0 A and 4 Adc.
7.Vary LOAD2 between 0 A and 4 Adc.
8.Adjust SW1 between EN and DIS.
9.Adjust SW2 between EN and DIS.
10.Set SW1 to DIS.
11.Set SW2 to DIS.
12.Decrease LOAD1 to 0 A.
13.Decrease LOAD2 to 0 A.
14.Decrease VIN to 0 V.
