3.2 Boost Mode Power-Up and Power-Down Sequence

For Boost Mode with Voltage Regulation,

  1. Refer to Boost Mode with Voltage Regulation for proper jumper settings.
  2. Set HV-E-Load to CC mode. Turn on the LV-PS power supply and HV-E-Load.
  3. Perform the test.
  4. After the tests are done, and turn off the LV-PS and HV-E-Load.

For Boost Mode with Current Regulation,

  1. Refer to Buck Mode with Current Regulation for proper jumper settings.
  2. Set HV-E-Load to CV mode. Turn on the LV-PS power supply and HV-E-Load.
  3. Apply an analog voltage gradually rising from 1V to 2.2V at J17-pin 11 or J18-pin 11 (ISETA), or a PWM signal at J17-pin 13 or J18-pin 13.
  4. Perform the test.
  5. After the tests are done, set ISETA to 1V, and turn off the LV-PS and HV-E-Load.
