2.5 Load Transients
shows the TPS54521EVM-607 response to load transients. The current step is from 2 A to 4 A at 12
V input. Total peak-to-peak voltage variation is as shown, including ripple and noise on the output.
Time = 10 μsec / div
Vout = 100 mV / div (AC coupled)
Iout = 2 A / div (2A to 4 A load step)
Vin = 12 V
