POWER EXCURSION WARNING SYSTEM

摘要

A power excursion warning system includes a power system having a first slew rate. A powered component is coupled to the power system. The powered component voltage regulator has a second slew rate that is greater than the first slew rate. A powered component voltage regulator is coupled to the powered component and operable to convert a first voltage received from the power system to a second voltage that is supplied to the powered component. A power excursion warning device is coupled to the powered component voltage regulator and operable to receive a signal from the powered component voltage regulator that is associated with the second slew rate, determine that the signal indicates a power excursion that will result in the power system operating outside a predetermined range, and produce a warning signal indicative of the power excursion.

主权项

1. A power excursion warning system, comprising:
a power system having a first slew rate; a powered system that is coupled to the power system that that has a second slew rate that is greater than the first slew rate; and a power excursion warning device that is coupled to the powered system and that is configured to receive a signal from the powered system that is associated with the second slew rate, determine that the signal indicates a power excursion that will result in the power system operating outside a predetermined range, and send a warning signal to the power system that is indicative of the power excursion.
