Measuring load transient

This measurement shows the behavior of Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) with changing load current.

To perform this measurement, you need an external trigger to capture data when load is changing. The Trigger output of the DC load is one of the options.

Set DC load to normal level (for example, 10% of maximum load). Set scope to capture once at the external trigger. The resulting figure on CH2 shows how the regulator handles sudden loads.

Note: In real applications, load changes may happen faster than electronic loads can simulate. In these cases, alternative test setups should be used.
