7.1.9.5 Load Transient Response

The load-step transient response is the output voltage response by the LDO to a step in load current, whereby output voltage regulation is maintained. There are two key transitions during a load transient response: the transition from a light to a heavy load and the transition from a heavy to a light load. The regions illustrated in Figure 7-5 are broken down in this section and are described in Table 7-5. Regions A, E, and H are where the output voltage is in steady-state. Increasing the output capacitance improves the transient response (less dip); however, the transient takes longer to recover when using a large output capacitor.

Table 7-5 Load Transient Waveform Description
REGION DESCRIPTION COMMENT
A Regulation Regulation
B Output current ramping Initial voltage dip is a result of the depletion of the output capacitor charge.
C LDO responding to transient Recovery from the dip results from the LDO increasing the sourcing current, and leads to output voltage regulation.
D Reaching thermal equilibrium At high load currents the LDO takes some time to heat up. During this time the output voltage changes slightly.
E Regulation Regulation
F Output current ramping Initial voltage rise results from the LDO sourcing a large current, and leads to the output capacitor charge to increase.
G LDO responding to transient Recovery from the rise results from the LDO decreasing the sourcing current in combination with the load discharging the output capacitor.
H Regulation Regulation
