Line, Load Regulation and Efficiency

  • Set up the EVM as described in Test Setup and Procedure.
  • Set load to constant resistance or constant current mode to sink 0 A.
  • Increase the input source voltage from 0 V to 24 V; use voltmeter 1 to measure the input voltage.
  • Increase the current limit of the input supply to 8 A.
  • Use voltmeter 2 to measure the output voltage, VOUT, and vary the load current from 0 A to 8 A DC; VOUT must remain within the load regulation specification.
  • Set the load current to 4 A (50% rated load) and vary the input source voltage from 6 V to 36 V; VOUT must remain within the line regulation specification.
  • Set the load current to 8 A (100% rated load) and measure the efficiency at typical input voltages (12 V, 24 V, and 36 V).
  • Decrease the load to 0 A. Decrease the input source voltage to 0 V.
CAUTION:

Extended operation at high output current can raise component temperatures above 55°C. To avoid risk of a burn injury, do not touch the components until they have cooled sufficiently after disconnecting power.
