Load Transient

Figure 2-4 shows the EVM response to load transients. The current step is from 0 A to 4.7 A with an input voltage of 5 V. The transient was applied by switching in a real resistor load. The current step slew rate is approximately 50 A/μs. Total peak-to-peak voltage variation is as shown, including ripple and noise on the output.

ParameterDescription
Bottom TraceOutput current switching between 2.5 A and 7.5 A, 2.5 A/div
Top traceOutput voltage, AC coupled, at 100 mV/div
Time Scale200 µs/div
ConditionsInput voltage = 12 V, temperature = 25°C
