Load-Step Transient Response

The load-step transient response is the output voltage response by the LDO to a step change in load current. The depth of charge depletion immediately after the load step is directly proportional to the amount of output capacitance. However, although larger output capacitances decrease any voltage dip or peak occurring during a load step, the control-loop bandwidth is also decreased, thereby slowing the response time.

The LDO cannot sink charge, therefore when the output load is removed or greatly reduced, the control loop must turn off the pass-FET and wait for any excess charge to deplete.
