TEST APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING VOLTAGE REGULATORS

摘要

A test apparatus for testing and evaluating voltage regulator assemblies to obtain both static and dynamic output characteristics includes a printed circuit board (32), power delivery pad contacts (34) and dynamic test circuitry (36). The power delivery pad contacts (34) are configured to make electrical contact with the output compliant contacts (33) of a transition connector assembly (17) or directly to the contacts of a VRM. In addition, the dynamic test circuitry (36) can be located in the same or nearly the same location as the device that will receive the power from the VRM (16) when in actual use.
