Test Automation

automated road tests include (level 1):

• • Efficiency
• • Line regulation
• • Load regulation
• • Quiescent current (switching)
• • Shutdown current

Areas that can be expand to with moderate efforts (level 2):

• • Max output current
• • Logic pin threshold
• • Register scan
• • I2C clock frequency compatibility
• • Thermal shutdown

The following automation tasks have been explored and feasible with more efforts (level 3):

• • Load transient
• • Input/output ripple
• • Startup/shutdown waveforms
• • Switching frequency
• • Noise and jitter
