Load Transient Response Testing for Voltage Regulators. Practical Considerations for Testing and Evaluating Results

Focus:

In this 16-page application note, circuits and techniques are presented for generating transient loads for testing the response of voltage regulators. Different test circuits offer varying levels of performance and complexity. Impact of output capacitor on regulator's transient response is also discussed.

What you’ll learn:

• How to test the transient response of linear regulators
• How to generate different load waveshapes
• How to determine regulator output impedance versus frequency
