The cathode of the diode D901 is connected to the DTC and GND pins of the power management chip U901 through the capacitor C901 and then to GND.
[0046] Among them, the power management chip U901 is TL494C.
[0047] The cathode of diode D901 is connected to pins IN1+ and IN2+ of power management chip U901 through reverse-connected diode ZD901, and the anode of diode D901 is connected to GND through resistor R901.

[0053] During operation, the switching power supply circuit converts the input 12V DC power into multiple output voltage levels. This is isolated and converted via a full-bridge driver circuit and transformer. The power management chip U901 adjusts the pulse width and controls the switching of the full-bridge driver circuit, converting the input 12V DC power into different output voltage levels. On the primary winding side, the input 12V power can be stepped up or down to meet the needs of different loads.
[0054] Using two transformers, T901 and T902, multiple voltages—485VAC, AC1, AC2, AC3, and AC4—are output from the secondary winding, providing the required voltage levels for different loads. Transformers T901 and T902 provide electrical isolation during the power conversion process, isolating the input power on the primary winding from the output power on the secondary winding. This prevents mutual interference between power supplies, improves the safety and stability of the power supply system, and meets the electrical isolation requirements of different loads.
[0055] The TL494C power management chip precisely adjusts pulse width, thereby controlling the output voltage and current, achieving precise control of the power supply. Adjusting the external resistor and capacitor connected to pins CT and RT changes the oscillation frequency to accommodate varying load conditions. The overload protection circuit is comprised of diodes D901, ZD901, and resistor R901.
[0056] At the input, resistors R910 and R909 and capacitors C905 and C907 filter the 12V input power, reducing ripple and noise and improving power stability. On the secondary winding side of the transformer, the output voltage is rectified and filtered, further reducing ripple and providing a more stable power output.
[0057] It can be understood that the circuit structure connected to terminals AC2, AC3, and AC4 is the same as the circuit structure connected to terminal AC1, and the ground terminals of the corresponding circuit structures are connected to GND2, GND3, and GND4 respectively;

[0062] During the operation of the ground circuit, the input of each regulator is connected to its own ground line (GND1, GND2, GND3, GND4) through multiple capacitors in parallel, and the output is also connected to the ground line through capacitors for filtering and reducing ripple and noise in the power supply.
[0063] The corresponding terminals of the ground lines GND1, GND2, GND3 and GND4 are connected to the common end (END) through 102N / 1KV capacitors (CY1, CY2, CY3, CY4) to achieve further filtering and decoupling between the ground lines.
[0064] The capacitor configuration at the input and output terminals can effectively filter out high-frequency noise and ripple in the power supply, ensuring output voltage stability. The 102N / 1KV capacitor connected between the ground wire and the common terminal can further reduce the potential difference between the ground wires and high-frequency interference, improving the stability of the entire power supply system.
[0065] In this embodiment, each test module is isolated and independent, and is powered by a separate power supply to achieve isolation. The test modules do not interfere with each other, and multiple products can be tested simultaneously.

[0070] Among them, the voltage regulator U3 is ME6216A10PG50, and the capacitors CRS10 and CRS11 are positively connected.
[0071] The voltage regulator U3 can convert the higher voltage from the terminal MCUA into a stable +3.3V voltage output. The forward connection of the diode D2 can prevent the power supply from being connected in reverse, protecting the subsequent circuit from damage by reverse voltage and improving the safety of the circuit.
[0072] The capacitors at the input and output ends are used to filter the input voltage, remove high-frequency noise and ripple in the voltage, reduce power supply fluctuations, make the output voltage more stable, and provide a purer power supply for subsequent circuits.

Pin 2 of port FAIN is connected to the drain of MOS transistor QF1 via inductor FL1, forming an LC filter circuit. This further filters low-frequency noise and ripple in the power supply, making the output power smoother.
[0172] Terminal FAN serves as the input terminal of the fan drive signal. It controls the duty cycle based on the heating instruction of the MOS tube in the auxiliary control module, and controls FAIW and FTR to control the fan speed. The higher the temperature, the higher the speed.
[0173] The resistors RF1 and RF2 are connected to GND in sequence. The two resistors form a voltage divider circuit for adjusting the voltage applied to the gate of the MOS tube QF1, thereby controlling the conduction degree of the MOS tube.
[0174] By changing the input signal at terminal FAN or adjusting the resistance values of resistors RF1 and RF2, the voltage at the gate of MOS transistor QF1 can be changed, thereby controlling the conduction level of the MOS transistor, adjusting the fan supply current, and thus controlling the fan speed. During power supply testing, the fan speed can be flexibly adjusted according to heat dissipation requirements to ensure good heat dissipation under different load conditions. Diode DF1 prevents the reverse electromotive force generated by the motor power failure during fan operation from impacting the circuit, protecting the MOS transistor and power supply from damage, and improving system reliability.
[0175] The filter circuit formed by capacitors FC1 and FC2 and inductor FL1 can effectively filter out noise and ripple in the power supply, providing a stable and pure power supply for the fan, ensuring stable operation of the fan and avoiding problems such as fan speed fluctuations or abnormal noise caused by power quality problems.

The power characteristic parameters include the output voltage, current, fluctuation, ripple, etc. of the power supply under test.
[0189] The attenuation trend is manifested as the change in voltage, frequency, etc. of the power supply output signal over time. The attenuation of the power supply output signal is described by fractional calculus.
[0190] The host computer calculates the fractional order according to the power supply characteristic parameters. The fractional order is related to the attenuation characteristics of the power supply under test. By analyzing the fractional order, the attenuation speed and attenuation stability of the power supply under test are evaluated to obtain the attenuation trend.
[0191] A membership function is constructed based on the attenuation trend to describe the degree of power supply attenuation. Through fuzzy processing, the membership function maps the power supply characteristic parameters to different membership values, including normal, moderate attenuation, and severe attenuation. This makes the judgment of power supply characteristics more flexible and can tolerate a certain amount of error.
[0192] After completing the fuzzy processing, the mutation probability and mutation amplitude are obtained, and a risk matrix is constructed to divide the mutation probability and mutation amplitude into different intervals. Each interval corresponds to a specific risk level. The mutation probability indicates the possibility of a change in the power supply output characteristics, and the mutation amplitude indicates the size of the change.
[0193] Based on the risk level, a risk assessment is conducted on the power supply performance, including whether the power supply is stable under specific load and environmental conditions, and whether there is a potential failure risk.
[0194] The host computer determines the comprehensive performance indicators and failure risks of the power supply under test by comprehensively analyzing the variation probability, variation amplitude and fuzzified data. The power supply performance and failure risk can be presented in the form of specific scores or levels, such as good, medium, high failure risk, etc.
