Minimizing voltage drops on printed circuit boards (PCBs) by using current injectors

摘要

A device determines a first voltage measurement of an output of a first brick. The device further determines a second voltage measurement associated with a second brick. The first brick is larger in size than the second brick. The device ramps up an output voltage of the second brick when the second voltage measurement is less than the first voltage measurement.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
determining a first voltage measurement of an output of a first brick; determining a second voltage measurement associated with a second brick,
the first brick being larger in size than the second brick,the first brick including storage capacitors and being on a printed circuit board (PCB),the first brick receiving power from a source outside of the PCB and delivering the power to the storage capacitors, andthe first voltage measurement being based on the power; determining whether the second voltage measurement is less than the first voltage measurement; and ramping up an output voltage of the second brick when the second voltage measurement is less than the first voltage measurement.
