    Abstract: A linear voltage regulator with isolated supply current is disclosed. The voltage regulator is configured and controlled such that its output current closely matches its input current (any quiescent current consumed by the regulator is negligible relative to the amount of current passed by the regulator). In certain implementations, the voltage regulator is implemented as an analog component. In other implementations, the voltage regulator includes or cooperates with digital elements, such as an analog-to-digital converter, a digital processing core, or a digital-to-analog converter.

    Abstract: A test system for measuring electrical current consumption of a device under test (DUT) includes a capacitor with power and ground terminals; a voltage regulator with input and output terminals; first and second switching elements; and a controller. The voltage regulator generates a DUT operating voltage based on its input voltage. The first switching element is arranged between a direct current (DC) voltage source and the regulator input, and the second switching element is arranged between the DC voltage source and the capacitor. The controller operates the switching elements to charge the capacitor, and to configure the test system for measuring operating current of the DUT using the capacitor as the power source.

    Abstract: A linear voltage regulator is disclosed. The voltage regulator is configured and controlled such that its output current is substantially equal to the input current. A test system for measuring electrical current consumption of a device under test (DUT) is disclosed. The test system comprises a controller coupled to a power capacitor, a voltage regulator, and a switching circuit. The controller may be configured to: control the switching circuit to place the test system into a charging state to charge the power capacitor with the DC voltage source, at a first time point, control the switching circuit to place the test system into a measurement state such that the power capacitor provides the capacitor voltage to the voltage regulator, and at a second time point after the first time point, calculate electrical current provided by the power capacitor.
