6.4Transient Response

The on-board load transient circuit enables to check the step load transient response on the

same board. Simply by putting a jumper to connect Pin1 and 2 of J3, a 90-A step load is created by three 50-mresistors placed on the board. The slew rates of the transient are 200 A/s for the load step-down and 160 A/s for the load step-up.

The transient response is shown in Figure 6 as the load is stepped from 10 to 100 A. The output deviation is approximately 200 mV and the settling time is within 15 s.
