Test Setup
www.ti.com
5 Test Setup
5.1 Test Equipment
Oscilloscope
A digital or analog oscilloscope measures the output ripple. The oscilloscope must be set for
the following:
• 1-MΩ impedance
• 20-MHz bandwidth
• AC coupling
• 1-µs / division horizontal resolution
• 20-mV / division vertical resolution
Test points TP7 and TP9 measure the output ripple voltage by placing the oscilloscope probe
tip through TP7 and holding the ground barrel on TP9 as shown in Figure 5-1. Using a leaded
ground connection can induce additional noise due to the large ground loop.
Voltage Source The input voltage source VIN must be a 0 to 14-V variable-DC source capable of supplying 10
ADC. Connect VIN to J1 as shown in Figure 5-2.
Multimeters
V1: VIN at TP1 (VIN) and TP4 (GND).
V2: VOUT at TP7 (VOUT) and TP9 (GND).
Output Load
The output load must an electronic constant-resistance-mode load capable of 0 to 15 ADC at
1.2 V.
Metal Ground Barrel
Probe Tip
TP7
TP9
Figure 5-1. Tip and Barrel Measurement for VOUT Ripple
Recommended Wire Gauge:
1. VIN to J1 (12-V input)
• The recommended wire size is 1× AWG number 14 per input connection, with the total length of wire less
than four feet (2 feet input, 2 feet return).
2. J3 to LOAD
• The minimum recommended wire size is 2× AWG number 14, with the total length of wire less than four
feet (two feet output, two feet return).

Test Setup
5.2 Recommended Test Setup
Figure 5-2. TPS53915EVM-587 Top Layer for Test Setup
Input Connections:
1. Prior to connecting the DC input-source, VIN, TI recommends to limit the source current from VIN to 10-A
maximum. Ensure that VIN is initially set to 0 V and connected as shown in Figure 5-2.
2. Connect the voltmeter V1 at TP1 (VIN) and TP4 (GND) to measure the input voltage.
Output Connections:
1. Connect the load to J3 and set the load to constant-resistance-mode to sink 0-ADC before VIN is applied.
2. Connect the voltmeter V2 at TP7 (VOUT) and TP9 (GND) to measure the output voltage.

2. Type fusion in the TI search bar.
3. Select FUSION_DIGITAL_POWER_DESIGNER from the search result.
4. Download and install the latest release version of the software. The most current version to date is version
1.8.325 of the Fusion Digital Power Designer.
5. Connect the USB Interface Adaptor EVM (see www.ti.com for more information) to J4 of the EVM. Ensure
that Pin 1 of the USB interface adaptor (red wire) is connected correctly to Pin 1 of J4 on the EVM.
6. Connect the USB wire of the USB interface adaptor to one of the USB ports on the computer tower.
7. Ensure that the EVM is powered up and connected to the USB interface adaptor before opening the Fusion
Designer GUI.

9. Double click on the TPS40400, TPS4042x, ect (DEVICE CODE) from the Select Device Scanning Mode
window as shown in Figure 7-1.
10. When the GUI is loaded (see Figure 7-2), verify communication between the GUI and the EVM by changing
the frequency of the EVM.
Note
The TPS53915EVM is pre-set to a 400-KHz switching frequency.
11. Use the oscilloscope to monitor the switching frequency on the EVM on TP6.
12. Select a different frequency by clicking on the drop down box of the FREQUENCY_CONFIG:TPS53819
(TPS5391X).
13. Click on Write to Hardware and monitor the change of the switching frequency on the oscilloscope.

7.3 Control-Loop Gain and Phase-Measurement Procedure
The TPS53915EVM-PWR587 contains a 10-Ω series resistor in the feedback loop for loop response analysis.
1. Set up the EVM as described in Section 5 and Figure 5-2.
2. Connect the isolation transformer to the test points marked TP5 and TP8.
3. Connect the input-signal amplitude-measurement probe (channel A) to TP10. Connect the output-signal
amplitude-measurement probe (channel B) to TP11.
4. Connect the ground lead of channel A and channel B to TP15.
5. Inject around 20 mV or less signal through the isolation transformer.
6. To measure control-loop gain and phase margin, change the frequency from 100 Hz to 1 MHz using a 10-Hz
or less post filter.
7. Disconnect the isolation transformer from the bode-plot test points before making other measurements.
• Signal injection into feedback can interfere with the accuracy of other measurements.
