Patent 7843207 was granted and assigned to Texas Instruments on November, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Methods and apparatus to test electronic devices are disclosed. An example method includes setting a first controlled switch to prevent a current detect signal from tripping an overcurrent protection event controlling an operation of the device; setting a second controlled switch to route a first sensed voltage associated with the device to a voltage adjuster; sending a calibration current corresponding to a target threshold current through the device; detecting the first sensed voltage while the calibration current flows through the device; and setting a reference signal substantially equal to the first sensed voltage, wherein the reference signal is to be used to generate the current detect signal.
