Calibration of voltage regulator |
摘要 |
A voltage regulator calibrator analyzes voltage regulator output and compares the output with known electrical loads. The calibrator selects a known electrical load, applies the known electrical load to a voltage regulator, receives from the voltage regulator measured output power characteristics of the voltage regulator, compares the known electrical load with the measured output power characteristics, and generates a voltage regulator adjustment value based on the compared values. Embodiments of the present disclosure also include a method for calibrating, the method including selecting a known electrical load, applying the known electrical load to a voltage regulator, receiving measured output power characteristics of the voltage regulator, comparing the known electrical load with the measured output power characteristics, and generating a voltage regulator adjustment value based on the compared values. |

1. A method, comprising:
selecting a known electrical load; applying the known electrical load, using a programmable load device that is external to an Information Handling System (IHS) and coupled to a motherboard of the IHS via probes oriented in an overlay fixture, to a voltage regulator configured to provide a regulated electrical output to a component of the IHS, where the applying occurs while the component is disconnected from the motherboard; receiving, from the voltage regulator via a digital communication bus, measured output power characteristics of the voltage regulator; comparing the known electrical load with the measured output power characteristics; and generating a voltage regulator adjustment value based on the comparing. |
