ABSTRACT:
A load emulator provides a high current load having a specified high slew rate to replicate the load and transient currents generated by advanced high speed microprocessors. The load emulator is implemented in the form of an L-C delay line having taps between separate load stages wherein each of the load stages provides a load which forms a portion of the total load in the load emulator. The load emulator, can achieve and exceed a current slew rate of 1 ampere per nanosecond, and can achieve and exceed a load current of 50 amperes.
