Patent attributes
The present disclosure describes a device for determining information regarding a connection of a circuit component that is connected to an output of a regulator in order to reduce fluctuations of an output signal at the output of the regulator. The device includes a processing unit that is configured to generate a statistical value that is a measure of fluctuations of the measurement signals, and thus of the output signal at the output of the regulator, based on a plurality of measurement signals, each of which has information regarding the output signal of the regulator and is recorded while a load component generates an electrical load at the output of the regulator. The processing unit is configured to compare the statistical value with a limit value and to determine the information regarding the connection of the circuit component based on the result of the comparison.
