User-Supplied Equipment
1. Bench Power Supply for VIN – 5V/9V/15V/20V and 0.5A/1.5A/3A/5A, 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 – used to measure input/output voltages and currents.
Quick Start Procedures:
-
Set Jumpers to default: EN = L (A-Version).
-
Connect one pair of XT30-to-Banana power cables to the XT30 connector at VIN and GND (right edge of EVAL Kit).
-
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.
-
Turn on the VIN bench supply and very slowly ramp its voltage to an appropriate voltage, such as 5, 9, 12, 15, or 20V. Monitor the VIN current to prevent damage.
-
Check the output voltage between the KVOUT and GND terminals.
It should be nearly the same as the input voltage. -
Check the ideal diode droop regulation voltage between the KVIN and KVOUT terminals under no-load and light-load conditions.
-
Check the no-load supply current at VIN.
FAQ
Q: Where can I find more detailed technical information about the
KTS1698A?
A: You can refer to the KTS1698 datasheet available on the Kinetic Technologies website or contact customer support for further assistance.
Q: What should I do if I encounter high current during testing?
A: If you notice high current during testing, reduce the VIN voltage quickly
to prevent any potential damage to the device.
Check for any wiring errors in your setup.
Q: What is the expected no-load supply current at VIN under specific
conditions?
A: Consult the KTS1698 datasheet for the expected current range at the VIN voltage condition in use. For conditions of VIN = 5.0V, EN = L, and no-load, it should be close to 170A.
