Test Setup www.ti.com 5 Test Setup 5.1 Test Equipment Voltage Source: • VIN: The input voltage source VIN should be a 0-V to 30-V variable DC source capable of supplying 2 ADC. Connect VIN to J1 as shown in Figure 3. Multimeters: • V1: VIN at TP1 (VIN) and TP2 (GND), 0-V to 30-V voltmeter. • V2: VOUT at TP7 (VOUT) and TP8 (GND). • A1: VIN input current, 0 ADC to 2 ADC Ammeter. Output Load: The output load should be an electronic constant resistance mode load capable of 0 ADC to 8 ADC at 1.05 V.
Test Setup 5.2 www.ti.com Recommended Test Setup Figure 3 is the recommended test set up to evaluate the TPS53014EVM-126. Working at an ESD workstation, make sure that any wrist straps, bootstraps or mats are connected referencing the user to earth ground before power is applied to the EVM. Figure 3. TPS53014EVM-126 Recommended Test Set Up Input Connections: • Prior to connecting the DC input source VIN, it is advisable to limit the source current from VIN to 2 A maximum.
Configurations www.ti.com 6 Configurations 6.1 Enable/Disable Switch S1 The TPS53014EVM-126 is equipped with a switch (S1) to drive the EN pin of the TPS53014. When S1 is in the Enable position, EN is connected to VIN, and the TPS53014 is enabled and generates a regulated 1.05-V output. When S1 is in the Disable position, EN is connected to GND, and the TPS53014 enters a high impedance output state. Default setting: set S1 to the Disabled position to disable the controller 7 Test Procedure 7.
