Figure 3-1 shows the basic test setup.
- Make all required hardware
connections as shown in Figure 3-1. Do not energize the HV supply until all connections are secured and placed properly
inside the safety box.
- Connect the target test RC load to the HV connectors. There are
a few convenient options for users:
- J6 or TP11 for VDC+ connection
- J7 or TP10 for VDC–
connection
- J9 for protected earth (PE) ground. Note that the system ground
is tied to the PE.
- Connect the oscilloscope probes to
the desired SW_EN pins (J13 pins 39 and 40) and ADC input pins (J5 pins 25 and 27) to
debug the board
- Connect the HV differential probes to
the HV connectors for debugging, if needed
- Import the demonstration project and
start CCS software debug mode
- Turn on the HV power supply and
observe the waveforms and the calculated resistance and capacitance values
Note: To use the external DC power supply (input to J14 of the TIDA-010985 board)
to power the reference design, R52 and R46 must be shorted, and the jumpers on J101 the LP
device must be removed (all except for GND, SWDIO, and SWCLK for the debugger to
work).
