  • Abstract
    The dissipative burn-in of DC-DC converters is an inefficient and costly process. This paper presents a highly efficient regenerative load specifically targeted at the burn-in of voltage regulator modules (VRM) conforming to the Intel VRM 9.1. The converter also features the ability to test the high current slew rates demanded of the modern VRM.
