Power-up & Measurement Procedure

Suggestion Required Equipments:

  • RTQ2538H evaluation board
  • DC power supply capable of at least 6.5V and 3A
  • Electronic load capable of 3A
  • Function generator
  • Oscilloscope

  • Test Procedure with Suitable Measurement Equipment:

    • Connect input power supply with wide and short as possible to VIN and GND through GP1/GP2 terminals.
    • Connect the electronic load to VOUT and GND through GP3/GP4 terminals.
    • Turn on the power supply and make sure that the input voltage does not exceeds 6V.
    • Check output voltage regulation with different IOUT for normal operation.

    Notifications:

    • Do not turn on input power supply before all connections are ready.
    • Do not use the oscilloscope probe with long ground lead for output ripple voltage measurement, it is recommended to touch the probe tip and groundring directly across the last output capacitor.

    RTQ2539C
    RTQ2539C

    The RTQ2539C is a high-current (3A), low-noise (6.8μVRMS), high accuracy (1% over line, load, and temperature), low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) capable of sourcing 3A with extremely low dropout (max. 180mV for RTQ2539CGQV and max. 130mV for RTQ2539CGQWF). The device supports single input supply voltage as low to 1.1V, which makes it easy to use.
    The low-noise, high PSRR and high output current capability makes the RTQ2539C ideal to power noise-sensitive devices such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and RF components. With very high accuracy, remote sensing, and soft-start capabilities to reduce inrush current, the RTQ2539C is ideal for powering digital loads such as FPGAs, DSPs, and ASICs.
    The external enable control and power good indicator function make the control sequence easier. The output noise immunity is enhanced by adding external bypass capacitor on the NR/SS pin. The device is fully specified over the temperature range of TJ = -40°C to 125°C and is offered in the WQFN-12L 2.2x2.5(FC) and VQFN-20L 3.5x3.5 packages.
