6.2 DDR2 (0.9VTT)/DDR3 (0.75VTT)/DDR3L (0.675VTT)/DDR4 (0.6VTT) Sink/Source
Current Transient
1. Remove VTT load from J3.
2. Remove V3 from TP3 (VTT) and TP5 (GND).
3. Add scope probe on TP3 (VTT) and TP5 (GND).
4. Remove jumper on Pin2 and Pin3 of J6 and put this jumper on Pin1 and Pin2 of J6.
5. Set switches S1, S2 to ON position.
6. TPS51206 is now operating at sink/source load transient.
7. Verify V2 and adjust VLDOIN if necessary.
8. Use scope probe at TP3 (VTT) and TP5 (GND) to monitor VTT load transient operation, and use
cursor to make measurement. The waveform is shown in Section 7.4.
9. Set switch S1, S2 to OFF position.
10. Decrease dc source 1.2 V to 0 V.
6.3 DDR2 (0.9VTT)/DDR3 (0.75VTT)/DDR3L (0.675VTT)/DDR4 (0.6VTT) Loop Stability
Measurement
TPS51206EVM-745 contains an R4 (10-Ω) series resistor in the feedback loop for loop response analysis.
1. Set up EVM as described in Section 4 and Figure 3.
2. Connect isolation transformer to test points marked TP11 and TP10.
3. Connect input signal amplitude measurement probe (channel A) to TP11. Connect output signal
amplitude measurement probe (channel B) to TP10.
4. Connect ground lead of channel A and channel B to TP12.
5. Inject approximately 50-mV or less signal through the isolation transformer.
6. Sweep the frequency from 1 kHz to 1 MHz with 10-Hz or lower post filter. The control loop gain and
phase margin can be measured.
7. Disconnect isolation transformer from bode plot test points before making other measurements. Signal
injection into feedback may interfere with accuracy of other measurements.
