Abstract

A novel, fully programmable noise-generation circuit is proposed for injecting random high-voltage impulses and random noise bursts, separately or combined, directly into a regulated power supply rail. It is intended as a minimally-invasive approach for assessing the impact of power supply noise on the performance of high-reliability electronic systems. The proposed circuit is made up of a high-output-current amplifier driving a pulse transformer that may be switched in or out of the DC supply path. It addresses the challenge of injecting high-voltage impulses into a regulated power rail that exhibits a very low impedance, and its small-footprint and low-cost make it suitable for System-in-Package applications requiring embedded tests. Simulation results indicates that the proposed noise source circuit successfully injects 5V random impulses of microsecond-width and 20mV random noise bursts into a high-voltage, high-current regulated power supply rail while adding very low extra power consumption.
