TIDM-02013: Testing AC/DC (PFC) and DC/DC (CLLLC) independently

JUAN CARLOS MARTINEZ ALONSO

Part Number: TIDM-02013

Hi,

We are going to launch a order of 10 units of TIDM-02013 and once we receive the boards we would like to safely test them. Is there any way to test the AC/DC (PFC part) and DC/DC (CLLLC part) independently?

For example, for testing the AC/DC (PFC) we would first connect the input to the grid, and the DC LINK (PFC output) to an electronic load.

For testing the DC/DC (CLLLC) we could connect the DC LINK to a DC power supply and the DC/DC output to an electronic load.

Is this way of testing possible? Or is there any limitation at the HW or FW that we need both blocks working at the same time for testing?

Regards,

Juan Carlos

The SW and HW were intended to allow for independent operation of both the PFC and DCDC. Please note that the board was not intended to operate for extended periods of time without a cooling plate to sink heat away from the FETs, transformer and inductors.
