Test Points and Sense Locations 

7.1 

VIN/VOUT test points 

Input voltage should be measured at test points TP7/TP29/K15 (position 7c) 
which are connected directly to the VIN/GND pins of MAIN module (PHASE 1) at 
the Test board. Alternative test points are TP25/TP26, connected to VIN/GND 
pins of PHASE 2 at the Test board.  

Output voltage can be measured at test points TP27/TP28/K16 (position 7a) 
which are directly connected to VOUT/GND pins of MAIN module (PHASE 1) at 
the Test board. Alternative test points are: 

- TP15/TP16/K14 (position 7b), connected to VOUT/GND pins of center 
positioned electronic load (position 10). 

- TP24/TP23/K18, connected to VOUT/GND pins of PHASE 2 at the Test 
board.  

 

7.2 

Sense location jumpers 

Sense location jumpers in J13/J14 (position 16) must be correctly placed 
according to VOUT test points used: 

Use positions “MAIN” when measuring VOUT at TP27/TP28/K16. 

Use positions “LOAD” when measuring VOUT at TP15/TP16/K14. 

 

 

If no jumpers are populated, internal sense resistors in MAIN module will be used. 

 

7.3 

PWM test points 

PWM test points in position 18 can be used to probe a PWM signal to each MAIN 
or SATELLITE module, to see if it is currently switching or not.
