METHOD FOR ELECTRONICALLY TESTING INTEGRITY OF IDEAL DIODE COMPONENTS USED IN OR'D VOLTAGE BUS

摘要

A power system includes a first power input, a second power input, a power output, a first ideal diode coupled to the a power input and a power output and a second ideal diode coupled to a second power input and the power output. The power system also includes a first switching circuit coupled to the first power input and the first ideal diode and a second switching circuit coupled to the second power input and the second ideal diode, the switching circuits operating as an open or a short circuit based on an input. The power system also includes a test controller coupled to the first switching circuit, the second switching circuit and the power output and configured to determine an operating status of the power system based on an input to the first switch, inputs to the second switch and the power output.

1. A power system comprising:
a first power input configured to transmit a first voltage signal; a second power input configured to transmit a second voltage signal; a power output; a first ideal diode coupled to the first power input and the power output; a second ideal diode coupled to the second power input and the power output; a first switching circuit coupled to the first power input and the first ideal diode and configured to switch between a first switch open state that prevents the first voltage signal from being received at the first ideal diode and a first switch closed state based on a first switch input; a second switching circuit coupled to the second power input and the second ideal diode and configured to switch between a second switch open state that prevents the second voltage signal from being received at the second ideal diode and a second switch closed state based on a second switch input; and a test controller coupled to the first switching circuit, the second switching circuit and the power output and configured to determine an operating status of the power system based on the first switch input, the second switch input and the power output.
