NCP1566POEGEVB Input voltage is 48 V nominal.
Range is from 36 to 57 V.
Needed Equipment
The needed equipments are the following:
a dc voltage source, delivering up to 60 V dc and up to 2 A
a dc load absorbing up to 100 W, V
in,max< 20 V, I
out,max< 10 A
either the above load can display dc V and dc A or separated V and A-meters are necessary
An oscilloscope with single shot capability
Kelvin sensing is necessary to connect the load to the board. If
no precautions are taken, it is likely that the voltage drop at the
load cables ends induces a reading error
Basic Test Setup
+ -
source load
Kelvin sense
Test n°1
• Start the power supply Vin = 48 V while the load current is 6 A
• Monitor the output voltage on a scope
• Verify the voltage is monotonically rising

source load
Test n°1
out
v t
• It is important to verify the absence of negative slope
• Repeat the test for Vin = 36 V and 57 V
• Change load to 0 A, repeat tests. Wait 10 s between re-starts
• A small glitch at the begining of the rising edge is acceptable Vin = 0 to 48 V – Iout = 6 A
out
v t
Vin = 0 to 48 V – Iout = 0 A
Test n°2
Press short
• Press short circuit at Vin = 36 V, Iout = 6 A. Board enters hiccup and ticks.
• Repeat test for Vin = 57 V
• Release short and make sure output resumes at 12 V
+ -
Kelvin sense
source load
Test n°3
• Program load to dynamic current mode
• Iout from 4 A to 6 A, slope 1 A/µs
• 1 ms interval, observe Vout on scope in ac, 50 mV/div No pigtail!

source load
Test n°3
out
v t
• Run the test from Vin = 36 V (worst case) to Vin = 57 V.
• Spec is to have an under/over shoot less than 150 mV
Vin = 36 V – 2 to 6 A – 1 A/µs Vin = 48 V – 2 to 6 A – 1 A/µs
50 mV/div 50 mV/div
out
v t
Test n°4
• Leave the board for 5 mn at Vin = 36 V/6 A and room temperature.
• Check no thermal triping occurs.
• Board is declared sound.
