Abstract
A system and method to determine a capacitance of a capacitor. In one embodiment, a power converter includes a controller coupled to an output capacitor and a power train configured to convert an input voltage to a nominal output voltage. The controller is configured to ramp up an output voltage of the power converter with a first slope and a second slope, and receive a first output current of the power converter during a first rise time associated with the first slope and a second output current of the power converter during a second rise time associated with the second slope. The controller is also configured to compute a capacitance of the output capacitor employing the first and second output currents, the first and second rise times, and the nominal output voltage.
