4.3.5 Switching Waveform Monitoring (TP12, TP13, TP14, and TP15)

The TPS40345EVM-353 provides three test points and a local power ground for measuring the switching waveforms of the module power stage. This allows the user to monitor actual switching waveforms during operation. TP13 is a 0.040-inch square pad of exposed PCB copper to minimize EMI radiation from the high transient voltages on the switch node. Switching waveform measurements should be made using power ground (TP15) as the ground reference for more accurate measurements.
