The table shows the load-pulse slew rates for the transient tester for a 0- to 3-A load pulse and different values of C5. Note that the drive to Q1’s gate is not symmetric. The output of U2 ...

It then dives deep into a case study of the Linear Tech DC1950A load dump tester, which is a tricky circuit to understand, so [Tim] breaks it down into a spice model based around a virtual ...

With the engine at approximately 2,000 rpm, the battery voltage should be at or near the reading at idle with no electrical load. If not, then the charging circuit isn't working at its full ...

A poor battery might produce less than 1.2V. Given the load, the output current at 1.2V will be 200 mA instead of 250 mA. The battery will have just 80% of a full load current. Instead, you can use ...
