• Resumen

  • Switched mode power supply (SMPS) is widely used in various industrial fields. Due to the complex operational condition, various faults may occur in the SMPS. Localizing the faults efficiently is necessary for the SMPS. Based on the classical integer-coded dictionary (ICD) method, which has been widely used in board-level analog circuits fault localization, this paper presents an extended ICD method to solve the fault localization problem in SMPS. An optimal boundary determination method is adopted in the extended ICD, which can improve the separating ability of each feature. In the paper, faults in SMPS, the available test points as well as the experimental setup are introduced first. Then, the extended ICD method is presented. Finally, the developed method is applied in the SMPS, and the test result shows eight fault states can be isolated only using six features with an accuracy of 92.5%.
