CONNECTORS AND TEST POINTS DESCRIPTIONS

Input Power

Connect the input voltage positive probe to Pin 1 of J1 and

sense probe at J9, negative probe to the GND at Pin 2 of J1

and sense probe at J10. The input voltage can range from 8 V

to 16 V.

Output Power

Connect the output voltage positive probe to J13 (large

screw connector) and sense probe at J11, ground probe at J14

(large screw connector) and the sense probe to J12. The

output voltage is set by the VID settings (SW2) and the

potentiometer (R60). Please refer to Start-Up Procedure and

Appendix.

Controller Biasing

Connect the positive probe to Pin 2 of J5 and the negative

probe to the GND at Pin 1 of J5. Please keep this as a separate

supply to avoid damage to the controller, especially when

other drive voltages are used.

Driver Biasing

The driver positive voltage probe VCC should be

connected to both pin 1 and 2 of J6. The driver voltage is

defined in Table 1. The 25VT6A5VGEVB evaluation board

is set up to accept DFN8 footprints of ON Semiconductor

5 V drivers.

Switching Frequency

The converter switching frequency is set by the voltage

divider setup of R13 and R14 between the pins 10 (ROSC)

and 33 (AGND) of the NCP5386 controller. In order to

change the frequency, these resistors have to be changed.

Changing the frequency also changes the Ilim (Over Current

shutdown threshold) settings.

Test Points Description

Monitoring the Input Voltage

The input voltage can be monitored by using the test

points at J9 and J10 on the 25VT6A5VGEVB evaluation

board. This allows the user to find out the exact value of

input voltage since there will be no losses from the cables or

connectors.

Monitoring the Output Voltage

The 25VT6A5VGEVB evaluation board provides two

test points for measuring the output voltage without any

losses from the cables or connectors. The output voltage can

be measured at the points J11 and J12 on the evaluation

board.

Monitoring the Switch Node Waveforms

The 25VT6A5VGEVB evaluation board provides the

opportunity to monitor the switch node waveforms. The

probe socket at test point JS8 provides the switch node

waveforms.

Monitoring the High Side and Low Side Waveforms

The high side waveforms can be obtained from the probe

socket at test point JS6 and the low side waveforms can be

obtained from the probe socket at test point JS10.

The probe sockets that are provided on the evaluation

board for monitoring the waveforms are such that the

oscilloscope probes can be inserted into the probe socket and

are held in place. The Test Point and the Probe Socket are

shown in Figure 3.

Monitoring the PWM Signal

The PWM signal from the controller to the driver can be

monitored from the probe socket provided at JS11.

TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Voltage Sources

(i) DC Supply Source for Input Voltage

The input voltage source should be a 0 to 20 V DC source.

The input voltage may be increased further depending on the

parts that are being used on the 25VT6A5VGEVB

evaluation board such that the part can withstand the applied

voltage. Hence, based on the required input voltage to be

applied, the requirement of the DC power supply varies.

(ii) DC Supply Source for Driver Voltage

The supply source for the driver should be a 0 to 10 V

source. The driver voltage should never exceed 6.5 V.

Electronic Load

The electronic load supplied to the 25VT6A5VGEVB

evaluation board ranges from 0 A to 25 A. Hence a DC

current source of 0 A to 30 A is needed for the evaluation

board.

Meters to Measure Voltages and Currents

In the 25VT6A5VGEVB Evaluation Board, the voltages

that are to be measured are Vin, Vout and Vdrv. The set up for

measuring these voltages are shown in Figure 4. The

connecting wires from the output terminal to the electronic

load should be thicker in order to avoid losses and to

measure the exact voltage at the end of the terminals.

Oscilloscope

The oscilloscope is used to monitor the gate and switch

node waveforms. This should be an analog or digital

oscilloscope set for DC coupled measurement with 50 MHz

bandwidth. The resolution can be set at 5 V/division

vertically and 20ns/division horizontally. The oscilloscope

channels can be connected at various test points such as high

side gate (JS6), low side gate (JS10), switch node (JS8), the

driver PWM Signal (JS11), Vin (sense) (J9 & J10) and Vout

(sense) (J11 & J12).

TEST SET UP AND PROCEDURE

Test Setup

The test set up, test points and components present on the

25VT6A5VGEVB Evaluation Board are shown in Figure 4.

The MOSFET parts placed on the evaluation board are the Q1

and Q4 (Refer to Figure 1).

Figure 4. Schematic of the Test Setup

Start up and Shut down Procedures

Before starting the test, the oscilloscope probes should be

connected. IR or k−type thermo−couples can be used to

monitor the temperature of the parts. IR monitoring requires

the removal of the oscilloscope probes due to the IR beam

interference.

Start up Procedure (VOUT 0.8 V −1.56 V):

1. Initially set all the power supplies to 0 V.

2. Set the output voltage to the desired value by

changing the VID settings on SW2 (see

Appendix). The SW2 must be changed while the

driver and controller are off.

3. Set the driver voltage and controller voltage to 5 V.

4. Set the input voltage to the desired value

(8 V – 16 V).

5. VOUT Adjustments: the output voltage may be

fine−tuned at this time, by adjusting the R60

potentiometer.

6. Set the load current to required value. The load

current must be incremented slowly to prevent the

controller from shutting down due to transient

spikes on the inductor current sense lines (CS1,

CS2 in Figure 2). If the controller shuts down,

there are two different methods that can be used to

reset the controller. The first method is to toggle

Pin 8 (EN) of the Grayhill switch (SW2) to 0

(down position) and then back to 1 (up position).

The second method is to set VIN to 0 V and then

back up to the desired voltage, then turned on and

Vin re−established.

Start up Procedure (VOUT 1.56 V −1.8 V):

1. Initially set all the power supplies to 0 V.

2. Set the output voltage to 1.56 V by changing the

VID settings on SW2 (see Appendix). The SW2

must be changed while the driver and controller

are off.

3. Set the driver voltage and controller voltage to 5 V.

4. Set the input voltage to the desired value

(8 V – 16 V).

5. Adjust the output voltage using the R60

potentiometer until the desired output voltage is

reached (1.8 V maximum).

6. Set the load current to required value. The load

current must be incremented slowly to prevent the

controller from shutting down due to transient

spikes on the inductor current sense lines (CS1,

CS2 in Figure 2). If the controller shuts down,

there are two different methods that can be used to

25VT6A5VGEVB

reset the controller. The first method is to toggle

Pin 8 (EN) of the Grayhill switch (SW2) to 0

(down position) and then back to 1 (up position).

The second method is to set VIN to 0 V and then

back up to the desired voltage, then turned on and

Vin re−established.

Shut down Procedure (VOUT 0.8 V −1.56 V):

1. Shut down the load.

2. Reduce the input voltage to zero and then shut

down the input power supply.

3. Reduce the driver voltage and controller voltage to

zero. Then shut down the driver power supply and

controller power supply.

Shut down Procedure (VOUT 1.56 V −1.8 V):

1. Shut down the load.

2. Adjust the potentiometer until the output voltage

measures 1.56 V.

3. Reduce the input voltage to zero and then shut

down the input power supply.

4. Reduce the driver voltage and controller voltage to

zero. Then shut down the driver power supply and

controller power supply.

Test Procedure

1. Before making any connections, make sure to set

all power supplies to 0 V, and make sure the load

current is 0 A.

2. Connect the oscilloscope probes at the desired test

points.

3. Connect the voltmeters/multi−meters to monitor

the required parameters. (Refer to Figure 4).

4. Set the output voltage to 1.2 V and the input

voltage to 12 V, following the Start−Up Procedure

specified in the previous section.

5. Obtain the required data and waveforms.

6. Follow the Shut−Down Procedure specified in the

previous section.

Table of AMD VID Settings for NCP5386B Controller

The Grayhill 76PSB08ST 8 position switch used for

setting the output voltage of the synchronous buck

converter. Figure 7 below shows the pin assignment of the

switch. VID0 – VID5 set the output voltage. DAC, and EN

is the enable pin of the controller (controller reset). EN must

always be in the up position (1) unless a reset is performed.

To set the output voltage to 1.2 V, for example: VID0 = 0

(down), VID1, VID2, VID3 = 1 (up), VID4 = 0 (down), and

VID5, DAC, EN = 1 (up). Figure 7. Grayhill Switch Pin Labeling
