Test Procedure for the NCN5150QFNGEVB
Test equipment required
Oscilloscope, Power supply, Signal generator, Multimeter
General remarks
When performing measurements on an oscilloscope capture the oscilloscope must be set so that a stable
trigger is achieved. Average over the largest possible number of measurements, and limit the bandwidth to
eliminate noise. Stop acquisition when taking measurements, so that all measurements are of the same
waveform.
A test result page is provided on the end of this document. Fill in the result of each test.
When connector pin numberings are supplies, look for a square pad. This is pin 1. The connector pin
numbering follows the numbering in figure 1.

TEST 0: Visual inspection
Perform a brief visual inspection of the board
 Check if the board is properly etched

Check solder connections (loose pins, tombstoning, etc )
TEST 1: Idle Operation

Connect the board to a power supply set to 42V, 100mA through a benchtop multimeter by the bus
connector (polarity independent).

Measure the current drawn (IMARK) from the power supply

Measure the 3V3 output (VDD) at pin 10 of connector J4

Measure the PFb (PFBHIGH) output at pin 1 of connector J4
TEST 2: Transmit Operation

Place a jumper shorting RX (pin 3 of connector J4) to pin 8 of connector J4 (ground). Measure the
current (ISPACETX) drawn from the power supply. Remove the jumper.

Place a jumper shorting RXI (pin 5 of connector J4) to VDD at pin 10 of connector J4. Measure
the current (ISPACETXI) drawn from the power supply. Remove the jumper.
TEST 3: Receive Operation

Set the Power Supply to 30V, 100mA. Connect a Function Generator in series to the power supply
(see figure 2). Set the Function generator to square wave, high Z output, 15Vpp, 19.2 kHz.

Connect the oscilloscope to pins TX and TXI (pins 7 and 9 resp. of connector J4). Verify that the
both pins output a 3.3Vpp square wave of 19.2 kHz. Use the ground at pins 4 or 6 for the probe
measurement. TXI should be logically inverted from TX (see figure 3).
