Determining Actual Transition Times
The minimum transition time (
Tr min
) for a given slew rate applies for smaller changes in
current as a percent of current range. At about a 30% or greater load change, the slew rate
starts to increase from the minimum transition time to the maximum transition time (
Tr
max
) at a 100% load change. The actual transition time will be either the minimum
transition time, or the total slew time (T-fall or T-rise) divided by the current slew rate,
whichever is longer.
