Prior to connecting the DC input source, set the
current limit of the input supply to 0.1A maximum. Make sure the input source is initially
set to 0V and connected to the VIN+ and VIN– connection points as shown in Figure 2-1. TI recommends an additional input bulk capacitor to provide damping when using long
input lines.
Connect voltmeter 1 at the VIN+ and VIN– sense
points to measure the input voltage. Instead of
VIN+ at the input connector, use sense point TP5
near IC U1 to remove the voltage drop related to
the EMI filter inductor.
Connect ammeter 1 to measure the input current.
Use at least a 1-second aperture time to correctly
measure the input current at light load in AUTO
mode.
