Abstract

Regulation of a voltage gradient may be provided. A plurality of test voltage values associated with a corresponding plurality of locations associated with an electronic device may be received. Then, based on the plurality of test voltage values, a target setpoint may be determined for a power supply that supplies power to the electronic device. The target setpoint may be configured to cause a maximum of voltage values at the plurality of locations to be below a maximum voltage level defined by a specification for the electronic device. The target setpoint may also be configured to cause a minimum of the voltage values at the plurality of locations to be above a minimum voltage level defined by the specification for the electronic device. The power supply may then be driven at the target setpoint.
