A system for measuring performance of a voltage regulator module (VRM)
attached to a microprocessor includes: a voltage transient tester (VTT)
fixture (5) for setting different working voltage levels of the VRM; an
oscillograph (2) for measuring transient voltage levels of the VRM, and
generating a transient voltage waveform according to the transient
voltage levels; an voltmeter (3) for measuring steady voltage levels of
the VRM under thermal effects generated by the microprocessor; a direct
current (DC) electronic load (4) for educing load currents from the VRM;
and a measurement control module (10) installed in a computer (1) for
generating load current control signals, controlling the DC electronic
load to educe the load currents from the VRM according to the load
current control signals, and generating a performance report of the VRM
by integrating various measurement results.
