Performance under transient loads has become the most important specification of voltage regulators used to power a wide array of products whose current demands vary quickly during operation. Testing ...
Semiconductor memory, card readers, microprocessors, disk drives, piezoelectric devices, and digital systems create transient loads that voltage regulators must service. Ideally, regulator output ...
This article is dedicated to Jim Williams who several years ago (2006) wrote an article in EDN regarding the need of a good lab apparatus to qualify the behavior of voltage regulators for compliance ...
The ability to turn on loads in a controlled manner is important in applications where the power budget is limited. Hard switching a load can cause the input power rail to droop and result in a fault.
