Summary
AN-84 describes a tool (TST-047) which enables test and debug of InnoSwitch3-Pro
based power supplies.
The TST-047 enables a set of operating conditions to be programmed into the
InnoSwitch3-Pro IC. Once programmed, these settings are stored in a Non-volatile
memory and are automatically transferred to the InnoSwitch3-Pro IC whenever the
power is cycled. This allows testing of the InnoSwitch3-Pro based power stage without
the need for an external Microcontroller.
This tool is especially helpful when repeated tests are to be performed such as EMI or
safety tests and the InnoSwitch3-Pro based power stage is to be set to a specific
operating point. This is useful when conducting thermal tests or tests where the unit is
being modified and there is a need for the InnoSwitch3-Pro to get configured with a
specific set of parameters after each power cycle.

Functional Description5
Switches 5.1
At power ON, any adjustments can be made within the first 5 minutes. A
countdown timer will lock the button functionality after its timeout. No request will
be processed after 5 minutes even if the buttons were pressed.
When the user wants to re-adjust the settings but the buttons state is already
locked, a reset operation will be needed (requires power cycling).

Usage Instructions6
This section provides step by step instructions on how to operate the board correctly.
Initial Usage/ Reset Operation 6.1
To use the board for the 1st time or to reset the saved setting on the EEPROM.
Set the Slide switch to configuration 4 (SW3A –Off and SW3B –Off)
After board power up, LED is expected to be blinking which means the board
underwent a reset operation.
CV Adjustment 6.2
Set the Slide switch to configuration 2 (SW3A –Off and SW3B –On)
LED is expected to be RED in color when power is applied to the board
Adjust CV by pressing the push buttons
This setting will be automatically stored to the EEPROM
Leave the Slide Switch configuration to either Configuration 1, 2, or 3.
This will ensure that the saved configuration on the EEPROM will be used upon
power cycle
Button press will be automatically disabled after 5 mins and LED will be Off
CC Adjustment 6.3
Set the Slide switch to configuration 3 (SW3A –On and SW3B –Off)
LED is expected to be GREEN in color when power is applied to the board
Adjust CC by pressing the push buttons
This setting will be automatically stored to the EEPROM
Leave the Slide Switch configuration to either Configuration 1, 2, or 3.
This will ensure that the saved configuration on the EEPROM will be used upon
power cycle
Button press will be automatically disabled after 5 mins and LED will be Off
VKP Adjustment 6.4
Set the Slide switch to configuration 4 (SW3A –Off and SW3B –Off). Since
this is the same setting as the reset setting, the user should make sure that
after power up, the switch is in configuration 1, 2 or 3 before bringing it to
configuration 4 for adjusting Vkp.
LED is expected to be BLUE in color when power is applied to the board
Adjust VKP by pressing the push buttons
This setting will be automatically stored to the EEPROM
Leave the Slide Switch configuration to either Configuration 1, 2, or 3.
This will ensure that the saved configuration on the EEPROM will be used upon
power cycle
Button press will be automatically disabled after 5 mins and LED will be Off
