Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a method of calibrating a power supply includes coupling a reference load to an output of the power supply, setting an output voltage of the power supply to a first output voltage, measuring a current delivered to the reference load, and determining a current metric based on the measuring. The output voltage of the power supply is increased until the determined current metric crosses a first threshold, which occurs when the output of the power supply is at a second output voltage, and the power supply it set to operate at the second output voltage.
