摘要： The present invention is an apparatus for testing a power supply. A power supply testing apparatus may include a remote load which may sink an adjustable amount of current with an adjustable slew rate and may test the response of the power supply to determine its operability with a dynamic load. Additionally, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the testing apparatus may source an adjustable amount of current with an adjustable slew rate to the output of a power supply. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the testing apparatus may include an adjustable current sink and adjustable current source with an adjustable slew rate. The power supply testing apparatus of the present invention may be implemented with standard circuit components on a circuit board and thus provide a small form factor. Additionally, due to the small form factor and low weight implementation, the power supply testing apparatus may utilize reduced length test wires which reduce the inductance in the test wires and increases the apparatus' slew rate for more effective testing.

摘要： The present invention is a method and system for preventing voltage spike feedback with switched inductive loads connected to isolated redundant power supplies. A voltage clamp circuit of the present invention may clamp the voltage spikes caused by inductive loads within a power supply system to a safe voltage level. When the common output voltage of the redundant power supplies becomes too large, the voltage clamp circuit of the present invention may clamp the common output voltage to a safe voltage level at or slightly above the higher voltage of the parallel connected power supplies.

摘要： The present invention is a method and system for actively limiting transient voltages across a voltage bus. Circuitry coupled to a bus may adjust the voltage level of a bus to a voltage within a desired range when transient voltages cause the voltage level on the bus to fall outside of a desired range. Circuitry of the present invention may include active elements that may adjust a voltage level of a bus in a rapid fashion. Additionally, use of the circuitry of the present invention reduces the cost and design limitations associated with stabilizing buses by solely using multiple low ESR/ESL capacitors.

摘要： The present invention is a method and system for efficiently converting an alternating current (AC) supply to a direct current (DC) output. A power supply in accordance with the present invention may employ variable frequency constant on-time converters whereby switching losses of the converters are approximately proportional with a switching frequency, causing the power supply to be more efficient at light loads. Additionally, a power supply in accordance with the present invention may include multiple-phase converters in which each phase is designed for operation at a fraction of the total maximum load for the power supply.

摘要： The present invention is a method and system for preventing an output of current greater than a desired amount for a redundant power supply system. In an embodiment of the present invention, redundant power supplies may be shut down when the sum of the output currents from the redundant power supplies is greater than a specified maximum current for a single power supply. Additionally, if a power supply should operate outside of desired voltage and current specifications, the power supply may be disabled while the method and system of the present invention monitor the output current of a redundant power supply.
