6 Test Setup and Procedures

There were five input supplies used to power the TPS7H6003-SP which provided VIN, VBOOT, EN/HI, PWM/LI, and ASW (ASW with respect to AGND). The VIN for the device was provided via Ch. 3 of an N6705C power module and ranged from 12-V to 14-V for SET and DSEE respectively. The VBOOT for the device was provided by Ch. 1 of an N6705C power module and ranged from 12-V to 14-V SET and DSEE respectively. EN/HI and PWM/LI were provided by a National Instruments PXIe-5433 2-channel AWG or a National Instruments PXIe-4139 depending on the type of test. Lastly, the ASW was provided by a National Instruments PXIe-4137 and forced to 150 V.

The primary signals monitored on the EVM were HO and LO and this was done so using two instruments. The first was a NI PXIe-5110 which triggered (based on HO) in two ways, Pulse-Width at 20% outside width in PWM or IIMSW mode, and window (± 500-mV with signal AC coupled) in IIMST mode. The second instrument was a MSO58B oscilloscope which triggered in a similar manner for the LO signal while also monitoring the BP5L signal.

All equipment other than the MSO58B was controlled and monitored using a custom-developed LabVIEW™ program (PXI-RadTest) running on a HP-Z4® desktop computer. The computer communicates with the PXI chassis through an MXI controller and NI PXIe-8381 remote control module. The MSO58B was used using the manufacturer interface. The MSO was set to fast-frame for all SET data collection.

All boards used for SEE testing were fully checked for functionality. Dry runs were also performed to ensure that the test system was stable under all bias and load conditions prior to being taken to the TAMU facility. During the heavy-ion testing, the LabVIEW control program powered up the TPS7H6003-SP device and set the external sourcing and monitoring functions of the external equipment. After functionality and stability was confirmed, the beam shutter was opened to expose the device to the heavy-ion beam. The shutter remained open until the target fluence was achieved (determined by external detectors and counters). During irradiation, the NI scope cards continuously monitored the signals. When the output exceeded the pre-defined trigger, a data capture was initiated. No sudden increases in current were observed (outside of normal fluctuations) on any of the test runs and indicated that no SEL or SEB/SEGR events occurred during any of the tests.
