ELECTRICAL TEST RESULTS
Demo Board Jumpers and Switches
S1 is an eight-pole DIP switch located near the ATX
power connector. The switch nearest the ATX power
connector is labeled PS_ON. When this switch is closed,
pin 14 of the ATX power connector is pulled low and the
ATX power supply is enabled.
The next switch position on the DIP switch is marked
S3_EN. This switch grounds pin 11 (the S3 enable) of the
NCP5201 when it is closed.
JP1 is a three-pin header with a jumper that can be
selected to either provide a 100k pull up resistor to the S3
enable pin of the NCP5201 or connect the S3 enable pin to
a test point labeled BF_CUT through a 100k resistor. For
manual control of the S3 enable signal, JP1 should be
connected t o the VSTBY position. This allows the S3 enable
signal to be controlled by the S3_EN DIP switch.
If the S3 enable signal is controlled from an external
source, JP1 should be connected to the BF_CUT position
and the DIP switch labeled S3enable should be left open.
Another configuration option on the NCP5201 demo
board is the gate drive of the blocking FET. The purpose of
the blocking FET is to allow a current path from VCC(5V)
to the high side FET during S0, and to block a potential
reverse current path from VDDQ back to the VCC(5V) rail
during S3.
The demo board has component place holders on the PCB
to allow the gate of the blocking FET to be controlled by
TGDDQ or by the S3enable signal.
If resistor R13 is populated and R5 and Q4 are
unpopulated, then the blocking FET is controlled by the
TGDDQ signal. This configuration requires the fewest
components, but it increases the drive power required from
the NCP5201 since it increases the total gate charge on the
TGDDQ node.
If R5 and Q4 are populated and R13 removed, then the
S3enable signal drives the blocking FET. This configuration
provides the lowest losses and highest efficiency.
JP2 is a two-pin header that programs the VDDQ voltage.
If JP2 is open, the output voltage is set to 1.8V. If JP2 is
closed, the VDDQ is set to 2.5V.
JP4 is a three-pin header with a jumper that routes the
analog ground of the NCP5201 to either the VTT ground
output pin or to the VDDQ ground output pin.
It is recommended to route a non-current carrying copper
shape under the NCP5201 to provide protection from stray
electric fields. This analog ground copper shape (or trace)
should be connected to the motherboard ground at only one
point to prevent external ground current from flowing
through the analog ground shape. Pin 12 is the analog
ground pin of the NCP5201 and should be routed to this
analog ground shape.
The internal voltage reference of the NCP5201 is
referenced to pin 12. Therefore, by selecting the location of
the connection between the NCP5201 analog ground and the
motherboard ground plane, voltage drops in the ground
plane can be compensated for.
Mode Switching
S5 to S0 Normal Transition from OFF to ON
In this test the ATX power supply is enabled, simulating
a mode change from S5 to S0. The 12V rail from the ATX
power supply is observed as well as the VDDQ and VTT
output voltages from the NCP5201 demo board.
