Abstract :
The paper describes the hardware and software methods used to effectively test and diagnose DC to DC converters. The design requirements for the programmable sources and loads are described and the measurement schemes for ripple and alarm tests. The converter test set is presented as a part of a larger computer aided manufacturing sytem with two levels of hierarchy that follows the product from the laboratory to its end use.
