Chapter 4. System Operation
This chapter describes the system setup and operation of the SMPS AC/DC Reference
Design.
4.1 SYSTEM SETUP
4.1.1 Recommended Test Equipment
The following list of test equipment is recommended for complete evaluation of the
SMPS AC/DC Reference Design and/or development of software.
Oscilloscope
High Voltage Probe (100:1 attenuation ratio) or Differential Probe
10A AC Current Probe
Power Quality Meter
DC Electronic Load (350W or higher, and should have capability to load at least
two outputs simultaneously)
0V-265V Variac or Programmable AC Source (500W or higher)
Two Digital Multimeters
4.1.2 Functional Blocks of the System
Figure 4-1 shows a block diagram of the SMPS AC/DC Reference Design. Table 4-1
describes the inputs and outputs of the system and also displays the location of the
isolation barrier. To assist in identifying each functional block on the SMPS AC/DC
Reference Design, Figure 4-2 shows a top-view of the system with each block called
out with dotted lines.
