Use the following instructions to
capture the start-up profile of LM74704-Q1:
- Set the input supply voltage VIN
to 12 V and current limit of 5 A.
- The default EVM configuration has
EN tied to ANODE via R2. So, the device is enabled when input voltage goes above
V(EN_IH) threshold. This configuration allows us to capture
startup with input voltage behavior of the IC.
- For startup with EN test,
de-populate R2 and connect external control signal voltage to TP4
(EN).
- Verify the jumper J5 is populated
which connects the on board generated pull-up voltage to FET_GOOD signal.
- Turn ON the power supply.
- Observe the start-up profile of
VIN, VOUT, GATE and input current.
Figure 3-2 shows the startup wavefom of LM74704-Q1 while input voltage is ramped up from 0 V
to 12 V.
Use the
following instructions to capture the start-up profile of LM74703-Q1:
- Replace U1 (default LM74704-Q1)
on board with LM74703-Q1.
- Set the input supply voltage, VIN
to 12 V and current limit of 5 A.
- The default EVM configuration has
EN tied to ANODE via R2. So, the device is enabled when input voltage
V(EN_IH) threshold.
- Verify the jumper J5 is
de-populated as the LM74703-Q1 has push-pull output of FET_GOOD and does not
require an external pull-up voltage.
- Turn ON the power supply.
- Observe the start-up profile of
VIN, VOUT, GATE and FET_GOOD.
Figure 3-3 shows the startup wavefom of LM74703-Q1 while input voltage is ramped up from 0 V
to 12 V.
