  • Patent number: 11156669
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is a device for testing batteries as subjects and a method thereof. The battery testing device comprises a power supply module and a short-circuit sensing module. The power supply module is configured to provide a first testing voltage or a first testing current. The short-circuit sensing module, coupled with the power supply module, is configured to integrate the first testing voltage or current during a first testing period, thereby calculating a first output energy provided by the power supply module. The short-circuit sensing module also determines whether the first output energy exceeds a predetermined energy range; when the range is exceeded, the same module generates an error signal. Wherein the short-circuit sensing module generates an error count by calculating during a second testing period the number of times the short-circuit sensing module generates the error signal.

  • Patent number: 9823295
    Abstract: A battery simulator for simulating the status of a battery connected to a load component includes a controllable current source, a voltage detector, and a gain controller. The controllable current source supplies an output current to the load component according to a current control signal. The voltage detector measures a detection voltage that is generated in response to the output current flowing through the load component. The gain controller is electrically connected to the controllable current source and the voltage detector and generates the current control signal according to a voltage control signal, a gain control signal and the detection voltage.

  • Patent number: 7933732
    Abstract: An electronic load device provided for testing an OT (power supply to be tested) and the working bandwidth is regulated and set according to the output impedance of the OT. The electronic load device comprises a CPU, an impedance-bandwidth table, a voltage-current measurement unit, a power stage and a control module. Firstly, a current pulled out from the OT to the power stage is called by the CPU. Thereafter, an output impedance of the OT is measured by the voltage-current measurement unit and analysis by the CPU. Next, a working bandwidth of the electronic load device is regulated and set by the control module according to the output impedance and the impedance-bandwidth table.

  • Publication number: 20110066417
    Abstract: An electronic load simulates an LED is to output a simulation signal after receiving an input signal. The simulation signal has a voltage value and a current value approximating to a characteristic curve of a real LED. The electronic load comprises a processor, an amplifier, and a control unit. The processor receives a control command to set up the LED. The control command includes a forward voltage parameter and an equivalent impedance parameter. The control unit generates an adjustment command according to the foregoing parameters and the voltage of the power source. The amplifier receives and further adjusts the adjustment command so as to output the simulation signal.
