4. Vary the input voltage from 4.5V to 38V and adjust
the load current from 0A to 10A. Observe the output
voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency, and other
parameters. Output voltage ripple may be measured at
J6 with a BNC cable and oscilloscope. The probe channel

5. (Optional) For optional load transient test, apply an
adjustable pulse signal between IOSTEP_CLK and GND
test points. The pulse amplitude sets the load step cur-
rent amplitude. Keep the pulse width short (<1ms) and
pulse duty cycle low (<5%) to limit the thermal stress
on the load transient circuit. The load step current can
be monitored with a BNC connected to J5 (25mV/A).

6. (Optional) To test the advanced input and load pro-
tections, put the corresponding jumper in the “ON”
