Abstract
A multimedia device comprises a power input interface, a computing circuit and a load circuit. The power input interface is configured to receive an operating voltage. The computing circuit is configured to receive the operating voltage from the power input interface, and configured to output a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal. The load circuit is configured to receive a test current from the power input interface, receive the PWM signal, and determine a magnitude of the test current according to a duty ratio of the PWM signal. The computing circuit is configured to monitor the variation of the operating voltage while adjusting the duty ratio of the PWM signal step by step. The computing circuit is configured to determine an upper bound of a power consumption of the computing circuit according to the relationship between the operating voltage and the duty ratio of the PWM signal.
