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.

1. A power excursion warning system, comprising:
a power system having a first slew rate; a powered component that is coupled to the power system that that has a second slew rate that is greater than the first slew rate; a powered component voltage regulator 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; and a power excursion warning device coupled to the powered component voltage regulator and operable to receive a power system output signal from the power system, receive a signal from the powered component voltage regulator that is associated with the second slew rate, determine that the signal from the powered component voltage regulator and the power system output signal indicate 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.
