Use the following steps for the test
procedure:
- Set the power supply current
limit to 10 A. Set the power supply to something
around 12 V. Turn off the power supply. Connect
the positive output of the power supply to J1 and
the negative output to J2.
- Connect the load to J3 for the
positive connection and J4 for the negative
connection.
- Turn on the power supply.
- Slowly increase the load while
monitoring the output voltage between J3 and J4.
It must remain in regulation when the load current
is lower than 4 A.
- Slowly sweep the input
voltage from 9 V to 20 V. The output voltage must
remain in regulation when the load current is
lower than the maximum load current specified in
Table 1-2.
- Turn off the load, turn off
the power supply. Then turn on the load to
discharge the output capacitors.
