Power-up Procedure
Suggestion Required Equipments
- RT5753AH Evaluation Board
- DC power supply capable of at least 6V and 3A
- Electronic load capable of 5A
- Function Generator
- Oscilloscope
Quick Start Procedures
The Evaluation Board is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps below
to verify board operation. Do not turn on supplies until all connections are
made. When measuring the output voltage ripple, care must be taken to avoid a
long ground lead on the oscilloscope probe. Measure the output voltage ripple
by touching the probe tip and ground ring directly across the last output
capacitor.
Proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below.
- With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN and GND pins.
- With power off, connect the electronic load between the VOUT and nearest GND pins.
- Turn on the power supply at the input. Make sure that the input voltage does not exceeds 6V on the Evaluation Board.
- Check for the proper output voltage using a voltmeter.
- Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the load within the operating ranges and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and other performance.

Typical Applications
EVB Schematic Diagram
- The capacitance values of the input and output capacitors will influence the input and output voltage ripple.
- MLCC capacitors have degrading capacitance at DC bias voltage, and especially smaller size MLCC capacitors will have much lower capacitance.
