Margining Processor Power Supply
US Patent:
6697952, Feb 24, 2004
Filed:
Jul 24, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/624160
Inventors:
Joseph D. King - Austin TX
Assignee:
Dell Products, L.P. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
G06F 126
US Classification:
713300, 713340, 327538
Abstract:
A system and method for biasing supply voltage requirements that are input to a voltage regulator to facilitate testing a computer system with supply voltages above and below specified operating values. The present invention may also be used to compensate a voltage regulator that is not outputting the supply voltage required by the computer system. The system includes a processor voltage signal indicative of supply voltage required by one or more components in a computer system during operation, at least one other voltage signal indicative of margined or biased supply voltage for the computer system, and a selection control signal for selecting between the processor voltage signal and the at least one other voltage signal. The processor voltage signal, the at least one other voltage signal, and the selection control signal, are input to a multiplexer. The multiplexer outputs a voltage identification signal to the voltage regulator based on the processor voltage signal, the at least one other voltage signal, and the selection control signal.

Assignee:
Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
H01R 24/00
US Classification:
439676000
Abstract:
A device for testing connectivity is provided. The device includes a first connector including a contact pin and a spacer for biasing the contact pin away from a spring contact pin of a second connector, when the first connector is inserted into the second connector. The device also includes an indicator, coupled to the contact pin of the first connector, for indicating whether the contact pin of the first connector is in contact with the spring contact pin of the second connector.
