Stability testing methods

One of these method is transient load

testing
-the transfer function changes under
different loading conditions.
Set up the transient load test
Analysis for transient test
Analysis for transient test

For an under damped response, it will have a

poor gain and phase margins and maybe only
conditional stable. With this performance, the
oscillation may occur.

For an over damped response, it is very stable,

but does not give the best transient recovery
performance.

For waveform c, it is stable transient response,

and it will provide enough gain and phase
margin for most application.
Measurement procedure for the closed- loop
power supply systems
Measurement procedure for the closed-
loop power supply systems

voltmeter V1 is used to measure the ac

input of control amplifier

voltmeter V2 is used to measure the ac

output voltage of power supply for each
time changing the frequency

At very low frequency, it is a straight line

with -1.5dB and then it hit 2 poles at the
frequency which is 806 Hz and start rolling
down with slope of -40dB/dec until it hit a
zero at 2500 Hz, and the line still rolling
down but the slope only -20dB/dec.
