Designing for Fast Load Transients

The transient response of the dc/dc converter has been characterized using a load transient with a di/dt of 2.5 A/µs. The typical voltage deviation for this load transient is given in the Electrical Characteristics table using the minimum required value of output capacitance. As the di/dt of a transient is increased, the response of a converter’s regulation circuit ultimately depends on its output capacitor decoupling network. This is an inherent limitation with any dc/dc converter once the speed of the transient exceeds its bandwidth capability.

If the target application specifies a higher di/dt or lower voltage deviation, the requirement can only be met with additional low ESR ceramic capacitor decoupling. Generally, with load steps greater than 100 A/μs, adding multiple 10 μF ceramic capacitors plus 10 × 1 μF, and numerous high frequency ceramics (≤ 0.1 μF) is all that is required to soften the transient higher frequency edges. The PCB location of these capacitors in relation to the load is critical. DSP, FPGA and ASIC vendors identify types, location and amount of capacitance required for optimum performance. Low impedance buses, unbroken PCB copper planes, and components located as close as possible to the high frequency devices are essential for optimizing transient performance.
