4.5.1 Line/Load Regulation and Efficiency

  • Set up the EVM as described in Section 4.
  • Set load to constant resistance or constant current mode to sink 0 A.
  • Increase the input source voltage from 0 V to 13.5 V; use voltmeter 1 to measure the input voltage.
  • Increase the current limit of the input supply to 6 A.
  • Use voltmeter 2 to measure the output voltage, VOUT, and vary the load current from 0 A to 6 A DC; VOUT should remain within the load regulation specification. For optimal accuracy, measure the output voltage at the output capacitors close to the converter.
  • Set the load current to 3 A (50% rated load) and vary the input source voltage from 6 V to 24 V; VOUT should remain within the line regulation specification.
  • Set the load current to 6 A (100% rated load) and measure the efficiency at typical input voltages (8 V, 12 V, 13.5 V, and 18 V cover the automotive battery voltage range).
  • 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.
