4.3.2 Channel-1 Output Voltage Monitoring – TP4 and TP8

The TPS53129EVM-621 provides two test points for measuring the voltage generated at the VOUT1 output by the module. This allows the user to measure the actual output voltage without losses from output cables and connectors. Measure all DC output voltage measurements between TP8 and TP4. To use TP8 and TP4, connect a voltmeter positive terminal to TP8 and negative terminal to TP4.

For output ripple measurements, TP8 and TP4 allow a user to limit the ground loop area by using the tip and barrel measurement technique shown in Figure 4-1.
