This article is dedicated to Jim Williams who several years ago (2006) wrote an article in EDN regarding the need of a good lab apparatus to qualify the behavior of voltage regulators for compliance ...

Power architects engaged in designing systems requiring low output noise and fast transient response — such as RF transmitters, power amplifiers, test systems, displays, designs supporting low-voltage ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...
