RE: Great Post !!!!

Hi again Jeff,

>>> the drop in the first 50 mS. is GOOD to be sharp and get "most" of the settling done smoothly and quickly as possible. <<<

I dunno, isn't the speed of the drop that only part of what matters? I would have thought the *magnitude* of the drop against time would also be an important aspect (wanting to keep the voltage up as transients hit), as would the time to recover and (lack of) overshoot and ringing.

Non-technical conceptualisation:

When a big transient hits, the PS voltage should fall fast enough to support sufficiently quick recovery, but should not fall far so as to maintain voltage for the transient. Recovery should be smooth and fast enough that voltage has recovered and the PS stabilised before the next big transient hits.

The caveat for me is, does the 15% stepped current in PSUD2 reflect anything like real-world conditions and can we really extrapolate audible effects from it?

Of course, this ignores PS impedance and maximum accepted ripple etc.

Regards,
