8.2 Control Loop Gain and Phase Measurement Procedure

The TPS51163EVM contains a 20-Ω series resistor in the feedback loop for loop response analysis.

  1. Set up the EVM as described in Section 8.1 and Figure 7-2.
  2. Connect the isolation transformer to test points marked TP4 and TP3.
  3. Connect an input signal amplitude measurement probe (channel A) to TP4.
  4. Connect an output signal amplitude measurement probe (channel B) to TP3.
  5. Connect the ground lead of channel A and channel B to TP9 and TP10.
  6. Inject approximately 40-mV or less signal through the isolation transformer.
  7. Sweep the frequency from 100 Hz to 1 MHz with a 10-Hz or lower post filter. The control loop gain and phase margin can be measured.
  8. Disconnect the isolation transformer from bode plot test points before making other measurements (Signal injection into feedback may interfere with accuracy of other measurements).
