Abstract

See full text

Electronic device (101) comprising a power source (110), a power management unit (102) coupled to the power source, and a set of loads (103a, 103b, 103c, 103d), the power management unit comprising a set of voltage regulators blocks (104a, 104b, 104c, 104d), each voltage regulator block being respectively coupled to an associated load of the set of loads for allowing power transfer from the power source to the load. The electronic device comprises a spike detector block (106), coupled to each of the voltage regulator blocks, and configured to detect a spike in a voltage signal from a voltage regulator block for testing the presence and the operability of a decoupling capacitor (Ca, Cb, Cc, Cd) between an output of the voltage regulator block and an input of the associated load.
