Abstract:
Embodiments of this present disclosure include an input/output (IO) power supply module coupled to a load. The IO power supply module may include testing circuitry that couples to a voltage supply of the IO power supply module. The testing circuitry may perform an online load current test to verify performance of IO power supply module. To do so, the testing circuitry may include a current measurement circuit coupled to a switch. The current measurement circuit may receive a current via the switch while closed to determine whether the output current generated by the voltage supply is equal to a rated output current.
