3.2.7. Output Transient Response
Table 11 summarizes the expected output transient step sizes for each output. The transient
load slew rate is = 1.0 A/µs.
Table 11. DC Output Transient Step Sizes
Output
Max. step size
(% of rated output amps per Sec 3.2.3)
(1)
Max. step size
(amps)
+12 V1DC 40%
+12 V2DC 60%
+5 VDC 30%
+3.3 VDC 30%
-12 VDC 0.1 A
+5 VSB 0.1 A
(1) For example, for a rated +5 VDC output of 18 A, the transient step would be 30% × 18 A = 5.4 A
Output voltages should remain within the regulation limits of Section 3.2.1, and the power
supply should be stable when subjected to load transients per Table 11 from any steady
state load, including any or all of the following conditions:
• Simultaneous load steps on the +12 VDC, +5 VDC, and +3.3 VDC outputs
(all steps occurring in the same direction)
• Load-changing repetition rate of 50 Hz to 10 kHz
• AC input range per Section 3.1
• Capacitive loading per Table 12.
3.2.8. Capacitive Load
The power supply should be able to power up and operate normally with the following
capacitances simultaneously present on the DC outputs. This capacitive loading should be
used to check stability and should not be included for noise testing.
