Testing High di/dt Converters

Focus:

With point-of-load dc-dc converters designed for very fast load transient response, verification of transient response demands special test circuits to generate fast di/dt loads and high-frequency measurement techniques to avoid various sources of errors.

What you’ll learn:

• How to verify the performance of point-of-load dc-dc converter designs with very fast load transient response
• How to build a transient response test circuit with programmable slew rate
• How to shorten transient-response test time for point-of-load dc-dc converters with fast transient response
