The TPS53513EVM-PWR587 contains a 10-Ω series
resistor in the feedback loop for loop response analysis.
- Set up the EVM as described in Section 5 and Figure 5-2.
- Connect the isolation transformer to test points
marked TP5 and TP8.
- Connect input signal amplitude measurement probe
(channel A) to TP10. Connect the output signal amplitude measurement probe
(channel B) to TP11.
- Connect ground lead of channel A and channel B to TP15.
- Inject around 20-mV or less signal through the isolation transformer.
- Sweep the frequency from 100 Hz to 1 MHz with 10 Hz or lower post filter. The control loop gain and phase margin can be measured.
- Disconnect the isolation transformer from bode
plot test points before making other measurements (signal injection into
feedback may interfere with accuracy of other measurements).
