I just attended a TI Web-seminar in where they talked about their new line of PTH power modules which include a new feature that they call Turbo Trans. Turbo Trans allows the user to custom tune the module to meet a specific transient load requirement. Tuning is accomplished with a single external resistor. They claim that by using TurboTrans one can achieve a reduction in bulk output capacitance which leads to an increase in ESR. Has anyone had any experience using this feature? The link below has more information. http://www.ti.com/corp/docs/landing/t2/index.htm -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bob McNamara Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 11:51 AM To: matusov@xxxxxxxxxxxx; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: ESR too low? [For anyone else trying to follow the link, it should be http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/swift-sw.html] Thanks, I hadn't seen that software before. It's missing the ability to optimize what I really care about as a user of the regulator - the closed loop output impedance. I claim that if you optimize the closed loop response, one consequence is that you'll have adequate phase margin. On the other hand, optimizing the open loop response won't guarantee me the best closed loop response.
