Load transient response testing for voltage regulators
Jim Williams
Semiconductor memory, card readers, microprocessors, disc drives, piezoelectric devices and digitally based systems furnish transient loads that a voltage regulator must service. Ideally, regulator output is invariant during a load transient. In practice, some variation is encountered and becomes problematic if allowable operating voltage tolerances are exceeded. This mandates testing the regulator and its associated support components to verify desired performance under transient loading conditions. Various methods are employable to generate transient loads, allowing observation of regulator response. ...
