Fairchild AN-7008 FPF200X Evaluation Module User Manual

Summary

This Evaluation Module provides comprehensive testing capabilities for the FPF200X smart load switches family. Designed for engineers and designers, it allows detailed experimentation with critical power functions, including controlled turn-on/off cycles, current limit monitoring, and simulating various over-current conditions (hard short, moderate). The manual covers setup for nominal operation, external pulse control, polarity configuration, and status checking via multiple test points, ensuring thorough design verification of your load switching applications.

Introduction Hard short: where the output is pulled down directly to ground (set J1 as shown in Figure 1)

The FPF200X EVM is an Evaluation Module for Fairchild Semiconductor FPF2000 smart load switches family. The

current Limit is guaranteed for 50m A and 100m A with 1.8V to 5.5V range of input voltage.

Monitoring the FLAGB (TP1) The Evaluation Module has test points for convenient access The status of the FLAGB pin can be monitored through TP1 to the all pins and jumpers for setting the various load either by probing it or by lighting a small LED in current conditions along with switches for toggling the ON/OFF and limit events. (J2 needs to be set as shown in figure1)
