Switch

Brief Description

The KTS1697A Evaluation (EVAL) Kit is used to demonstrate and evaluate the KTS1697A functionality, performance, and PCB layout. The kit includes a fully assembled and tested PCB with the KTS1697A IC installed, two pairs of high- current XT30-to-Banana power cables, and a printed copy of the Quick Start Guide (also contained within this document).

User-Supplied Equipment

Required Equipment

1. Bench Power Supply for VIN – 5V/9V/15V/20V and 0.5A/1.5A/3A/5A/7A, as needed for the intended application. For testing over-voltage protection and withstand voltage, a 29V adjustable bench power supply is preferred.
2. Digital Multimeter – one or more, used to measure input/output voltages and currents.

Optional Equipment

1. Bench Power Supply for VIO – 1.5V to 5V, low current. Needed for shutdown mode (̅E̅̅N̅ = H) and fault monitoring (̅A̅C̅̅O̅̅K̅ pull-up voltage).
2. Oscilloscope – for dynamic testing of voltages (and currents with a current probe, if available).
3. Load – either an eLoad, power resistors, or an actual system load.
4. Additional Digital Multimeters

Quick Start Procedures

1. Set Jumpers to default: ̅̅EN̅̅ = L
2. Connect one pair of XT30-to-Banana power cables to the XT30 connector at VIN and GND (right edge of EVAL Kit).
3. Before connecting the EVAL Kit to the VIN bench supply, turn on the supply and adjust the voltage as close to 0V as possible. Then turn off the supply. While off, connect the banana ends of the XT30-to-Banana power cables to the VIN bench supply.
4. Turn on the VIN bench supply and very slowly ramp its voltage to an appropriate voltage, such as 5, 9, 12, 15, or 20V. While ramping VIN slowly, use the bench supply’s output current indication (or a digital multimeter) to monitor the VIN current. If the current becomes high, reduce the VIN voltage quickly to prevent damage. Then inspect the setup for any wiring errors.
5. With valid VIN voltage, use a digital multimeter to check the output voltage between the KVOUT and GND terminals on the EVAL Kit. It should be nearly the same as the input voltage.
6. Use a digital multimeter to check the “ideal diode” droop regulation voltage between the KVIN and KVOUT terminals on the EVAL Kit. At no-load and light-load conditions, it should be close to 20mV.
7. Use a digital multimeter to check the no-load supply current at VIN. Consult the KTS1697A datasheet for the expected current range at the VIN voltage condition in use. For conditions of VIN = 5.0V, ̅̅EN̅̅ = L, and no-load, it should be close to 180A.

Additional Test Procedures

1. Logic Pins Testing:
   • Before connecting the EVAL Kit to the VIO bench supply, turn on the supply and adjust the voltage as close to 0V as possible. Then turn off the supply. While off, connect the VIO bench supply to VIO and GND terminals on the EVAL Kit (with user-supplied banana-to-clip leads).
   • Turn on the VIO bench supply and very slowly ramp its voltage to an appropriate voltage, such as 1.8, 3.3, or 5V. While ramping VIO slowly, use the bench supply’s output current indication (or a digital multimeter) to monitor the VIO current. If the current becomes high, reduce the VIO voltage quickly to prevent damage. Then inspect the setup for any wiring errors.
   • With valid VIO and VIN voltages, check the EN and ̅AC̅̅̅̅OK̅̅ functionality. Check the shutdown supply current at VIN with EN̅̅ = H. With ̅̅EN̅̅ = L, check the ̅AC̅̅̅̅OK̅̅ flag pulls high to VIO when VIN < 2.5V and when VIN > 24V.
2. Testing with Load:
   • Use the second XT30-to-Banana power cable pair to apply loads from VOUT to GND.
   • Under heavy-load conditions, use caution. The KTS1697A IC may become hot; avoid skin contact.
   • Use multimeters and an oscilloscope to make DC and transient measurements as desired.

Setting OVLO
By default, the EVAL Kit uses the internal 23V setting for the Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) threshold. The OVLO pin and associated resistive voltage divider (R2, R3) are used to externally set the over-voltage threshold in the range of 4V to 23V. As shipped, R2 is not populated and R3 is populated with a 1k pull-down so that OVLO is 0V and the KTS1697A uses the internal 23V setting.

To set a different OVP threshold using the OVLO pin, populate R2. See the KTS1697A datasheet to calculate the necessary value of resistance.

Adding Additional Input Capacitance
The CIN input capacitance of the EVAL Kit is 10uF by design. 10uF is the maximum allowed by USB standards on the VBUS pin of the USB connector. However, for non-standard applications, the C2 footprint (not populated) is available to add additional input capacitance.

Evaluating Other ICs
This EVAL Kit may optionally be used to evaluate the similar KTS1696A, KTS1696B, and KTS1697B VBUS current-sink protection load switches. Before ordering samples of these devices, please confirm the capability to reflow and exchange WLCSP devices.
