For example, to get an output voltage of Vo = 1.2 V, the Pins 2 (VID1), 3 (VID2) and 4 (VID3) should be set to 1. See Appendix for more information on setting the output voltage. The pins 1 (VID0), 5 (VID4) and 6 (VID5) should always be set to 0 and the pins 7 (VID6) and 8 (VID7) should always be set to 1. 1. The switching frequency is defined by the resistors R13 and R14 and can only be changed only by changing the resistors R13 and R14. CONNECTORS AND TEST POINTS DESCRIPTIONS Input Power Switching Frequency Connect the input voltage positive probe to Pin 1 at J1 and sense probe at J9, negative probe to the GND at Pin 2 at J1 and sense probe at J10. The input voltage can range from 8 V to 19 V. 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. 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 (Refer to Appendix, Section 1). Test Points Description Monitoring the Input Voltage The input voltage can be monitored by using the test points at J9 and J10 on the ONS321G 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 ONS321G 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 ONS321G evaluation board provides the opportunity to monitor the switch node waveforms. The probe socket at test point JS8 provides the switch node waveforms. Controller Biasing Connect the positive probe to Pin 2 at J5 and the negative probe to the GND at Pin 1 at J5. Please keep this as a separate supply to avoid damage to the controller especially when other drive voltages are used. Controller VIN MAX specification is 7 V. Driver Biasing The driver positive voltage probe Vcc should be connected to both pin 1 and 2 at J6. The driver voltage is defined depending on the type of driver installed (i.e.) a 12 V driver or a 5 V driver. The ONS321G evaluation board is set up to accept DFN8 footprints of ON Semiconductor 5 V and 12 V drivers. http://onsemi.com 3 ONS321A5VGEVB, ONS321B12VGEVB 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. Figure 3. Tektronix Test Point & Probe Socket Part #: 700503100 TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED Voltage Sources up for measuring these voltages and currents, and the meters required are shown in Figure 4. The currents are measured across the shunt resistances that are connected across each of the terminals of input, output and driver voltages as shown in Figure 4. For example, the output current is (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 ONS321G 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 20 V DC source. The driver voltage varies depending on the type of driver used (i.e.) For NCP5911 driver, the driver voltage is 5 V and for NCP5901 driver, it is 12 V. measured as, . Similarly the input and driver current can also be measured. 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 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 Driver (JS6), Low Side Driver (JS10), Switch Node (JS8), G1 PWM Signal (JS11), Vin (sense) (J9 & J10) and Vout (sense) (J11 & J12). Electronic Load The electronic load supplied to the ONS321G 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 ONS321G Evaluation Board, the voltages that are to be measured are Vin, Vout and Vdrvr. Similarly, the currents that are to be measured are Iin, Iout and Idrvr.

Schematic of the Test Setup The SO-8 parts placed on the evaluation board are the Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4; the m-8 parts placed on the evaluation board are the Q9 and Q10 and the DPAKs placed on the board right below the SO-8 parts are Q5, Q6, Q7 and Q8 shown in the schematic of ONS321G. (Refer to Section 2-Figure 1). Start up Procedure: 1. Initially set all the power supplies to 0 V. 2. Set the output voltage by changing the VID settings. The output voltage should not be changed with either the controller or driver active. 3. Set the driver voltage and then set the input voltage. 4. Set the load current to required value. The load current must be incremented slowly to prevent the transient spikes at CS1/CS2 thereby shutting down the controller. If the controller shuts down, the input voltage must be set to zero, then the input power supply has to be turned off, then turned on and Vin re-established. 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 to make sure that they are still within the limits. IR monitoring requires the removal of the oscilloscope probes due to the IR beam interference. http://onsemi.com 5 ONS321A5VGEVB, ONS321B12VGEVB 4. After reaching the required driver voltage, set the input voltage as required. (For example, Vin = 12 V). 5. Set the load current slowly to the desired value. For example, Iout = 2.5 A. (Refer to Start Up Procedure #4). 6. The frequency is already set to 330 kHz. If a different switching frequency is required, R13 and R14 have to be changed as per the data sheet of NCP5386. (Refer to Appendix). 7. Connect the voltmeters/multi-meters to monitor the required parameters. (Refer to Figure 4). 8. Obtain the required data and waveforms. Shut down Procedure: 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 to zero and then shut down the driver power supply. Test Procedure 1. Before making any connections, make sure to set the power supplies for input voltage and the driver voltage at 0 V. Also make sure that the load current is at 0 A. 2. Connect the Oscillator probes at the desired test points. 3. Set the driver voltage to the required value (For example, Vdrvr = 5 V).
