PMU Test Platform

Nowadays Power Management exists in almost every electronic appliance. Be it an aeroplane, a satellite, a car, a cell-phone, or even a computer mouse there is a power management unit. The demands for having cleaner energy, more autonomy and higher integration and less consumption translate directly into a need to generate more energy, to store more energy, and spend less energy. In a system that needs several DC voltage levels to operate, and that needs to generate those voltages from a single power source, be it mechanical, or chemical or from the power grid, a good power management system is paramount for its efficiency and consumption requirements. For having a good and reliable power management circuit, needs an exhaustive development phase coupled with an intensive prototype testing. This project is a Test Platform for the test of DC to DC Circuits. The motivation for this project, the existing solutions and problems are described. Then the objectives and specifications for this project are detailed and enumerated the challenges that need to be surpassed. It discusses the architecture of the project and the implementation details.
