You use an active-load test circuit to ensure that a power supply for a microprocessor or for other digital loads supplies 100A transient currents. This active load can provide a dc load for a power ...

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 ...

Part 1 of this series discussed what characteristics make up a good load slammer. This article discusses how to use load slammers effectively to design, evaluate, debug, and validate your on-board ...

It’s normal to assume that there’s an easy way to relate the bandwidth of a power-supply control loop to its transient response—no good reference exists that defines this in simple terms. It seems ...
