2.1.5 Oscilloscope Probes: Probing the EVM

Using TP3 and TP6 Oscilloscope Probe PCB Test Points

The UCC33420-Q1 is a high frequency DC-DC module that requires careful measurement for accurately capturing transient events and measuring high frequency, AC ripple voltage. Remove the witch hat probe tip cover and ground lead from the scope probe. If scope probe ground springs are not available, then wrap a piece of 22 AWG bare wire around the scope probe ground ring or use a fitted ground spring and insert the probe tip and ground into the EVM as shown in Figure 3-2.

The EVM input (VINP, GNDP) and output nomenclature (VISO, GNDS) corresponds to what is commonly used when referring to isolated amplifiers that need to be biased from primary and secondary sides.
