Is it possible to connect external voltage and current sensors to sense the output voltage and inductor current? If yes, then what would be the configuration? Thanks

    Hi Muhammad,

    The schematic of the EVM in the Users Guide shows all testpoints for all signals that can be accessed with a voltage probe.
    This also includes the output voltage.

    There is no inductor current testpoint implemented into the EVM.
    To measure the inductor current, the board has to be manually modified, for example by soldering off the inductor and adding additional wiring, to make a current measurement in series possible.

    Please let me know if you have additional questions.

    Best regards,
    Niklas
