The power conversion efficiency of the voltage regulator is an important performance indicator to measure the operating state of the voltage regulator. Therefore, the power converter's power conversion efficiency needs to be measured before the computer motherboard is shipped to verify compliance. [0003] At present, the measurement method of the power conversion efficiency of the voltage regulator is generally measured by the tester to measure the input power and the output power of the voltage regulator, and the measurement results are recorded, and the measurement of each voltage regulator is performed. The time is often as long as several hours, and the tester cannot leave the site during the measurement, and a large amount of data needs to be recorded. This manual measurement method takes a lot of time and effort, and is extremely error-prone and cannot be measured in a short time, so the measurement accuracy and efficiency are extremely low.

The preferred embodiment includes a power source 10, a resistor R, a voltmeter 20, an electronic load 40, and a measuring device such as a computer 50. The power supply 1 is connected to the voltage regulator 30 through a parallel circuit of the resistor R and the voltmeter 20. The voltage regulator 30 is also connected to the computer 50 via an electronic load 4, and the computer 50 is also connected to the voltmeter 20. In the present embodiment, the resistor R is a precision resistor having a very small resistance value, and the electronic load 4 is a precision electronic load instrument capable of adjusting a load, which can provide voltage and current information such as an input voltage of the recording electronic load 40 and flow through The electrical power is not full and 40, and the electronic load 40 completely converts the input electrical energy into thermal energy dissipation. The power supply 10 can output a DC voltage through the resistor R to divide the voltage regulator 30. The voltage regulator 3 turns this DC voltage to another DC voltage output to the electronic load 4〇. The voltmeter 20 can accurately & measure the voltage across the resistor R. The computer 50 calculates the efficiency of the voltage regulator 30. In the present embodiment, the computer 50 is connected to the voltmeter 20 and the electronic load 40 via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. In other embodiments, the computer 50 can also pass other interfaces such as RS232. The interface is connected to the voltmeter 20 and the electronic load 40. [0014] The computer 50 includes a processor 52 and a memory 53. The processor 52 is coupled to the memory unit 53 and executes instructions stored in the memory 53. The memory unit 53 includes a measurement setting module 530, a load adjustment module 532, a calculation module 534, and a determination module 536. [0015] The measurement setting module 530 is configured to preset the maximum transmission of the voltage regulator 30. 098127335 Form No. A0101 Page 7 / 19 pages 0982046855-0 201105983 Output current Imax (according to the regulation of the voltage regulator 3〇 product) According to the preset target output current Ip calculation formula Ip-Imaxx (5χρ-5) % (ρ=ι, _, n), the p-th measurement voltage regulator 30 is calculated. The target output current is sequentially measured in ascending order of the number of measurement times. In other embodiments, the measurement may be performed sequentially in descending order of the number of measurement times. For example, if the maximum output current I max of the voltage regulator 30 is 1 〇 amp, and the number of measurements is set to 21 times, then the formula ip=imaxx (5χρ_5) % (p = 1 , ..., 21 ) is passed.

The target output current of 30, for example, if the current of the electronic load 40 is greater than the target output current of the voltage regulator 3 本 during the current measurement, the control power: sub-negative, load 40 increases the impedance 'if the current of the electronic load 40 is less than this The target output current of the sub-measurement voltage regulator 3〇 then controls the electronic load 40 to reduce the impedance until the current of the electronic load 4〇 is equal to the target output current of the voltage regulator 30. Since the voltage regulator 3 takes a while to reach the heat balance, the measurement before the thermal balance is not achieved may cause the accuracy of the measurement to decrease. Therefore, the load adjustment module 532 is also used to set a preset time, for example, 3 minutes. This allows the electric waste regulator 30 to reach thermal equilibrium to improve the accuracy of the measurement. s Xuan calculation handle group 5 3 4 for s buy complex array (such as 3 〇 group) electronic load 4 记录 recorded current flowing through electronic load 40 and electronic load 4 〇 input voltage 098127335 Form No. A0101 Page 8 / 19 pages 0982046855-0 [0017] 201105983 Multiply the current through the electronic load 4 与 with the input voltage of the electronic load 4 以 to calculate the output power of each group of the voltage regulator 30, and simultaneously read the voltmeter 20 The voltage across the resistance R is measured.
