174 System Reference, January 2001
5. Diagnostic Circuits
As with the General Purpose and High Voltage power
supplies, the HCDPS contains additional circuits for
diagnostic purposes.
The following diagnostic facilities are provided:
– Detection of failure of ASTEC-raw power.
– Detection of overcurrent and overvoltage.
– Detection of the state of safety-lines at the DUT-
Board.
– For measuring the impedance i.e. the voltage drop
on the power lines, the ADC is able to measure
between sense+ and sense- as well as between
power out of the HCDPS board and the return path
of the HCDPS board.
– Check of Master/Slave connections.
Diagnostics of the HCDPS board consists mainly of 2
independent tests, as in the case of the General
Purpose (GPDPS) and High Voltage (HVDPS) Power
Supplies:
a. Standard HCDPS diagnostics.
b. At-speed HCDPS diagnostics.
The maximum test current for the standard
diagnostics is 8A, so for a full current test (100A), the
at-speed diagnostics must be performed.
Due to the special pogo block assembly for the HCDPS,
a special loadboard is required to run the at-speed
