ABSTRACT:
A power validation tool is used in place of an actual microprocessor to validate a power source to determine if the power source is capable of meeting power requirements of the microprocessor. The validation tool is placed into a socket reserved for the microprocessor. A pulse generator supplies a pulse signal to toggle a load between minimum and maximum load current values, while a window comparator monitors the voltage to determine if the load change causes the source voltage to rise above or fall below an accepted range.
