Abstract

This paper introduces a virtual instrument which acts as a programmable multisine waveform generator suitable for switching regulators´ characterization. Inserting this programmable generator in a standardized computer-based instrumentation system, regulator performances such as stability and audiosusceptibility are obtained. A PWM buck switching regulator is used to compare the measured and predicted values
