Typical Transient Characteristics
The transient characterization test setup shown below
includes the effective source impedance of the V
supply (R
). This was measured to be approximately
0.2
. It is recommended that this effective source
impedance be no greater than 0.25
 to ensure precise
switching is maintained during V
CC
 selection and
deselection.
Both the rise and fall times during V
power-up/down
sequencing were controlled to be of 20 millisecond
duration. This is considered to represent worst case
conditions for most application circuits.
A maximum rated load current of 200mA was used
during characterization, unless specified otherwise.
During a selection or deselection transition the DC load
current is switching from V
 to V
 and vice versa. In
addition to the normal load current there may also be an
in-rush current for charging/discharging the load capaci-
tor. The total current pulse being applied to either V
AUX
 or
V
 is equal to the sum of the dc load and the corre-
sponding in-rush current.
The oscilloscope traces of V
 power-up/down show the
full bandwidth response at the V
CC 
and V
OUT 
pins under
full load (200mA) conditions.

 power-up Cold Start (V
 = 0V).
 This shows the
output response during an initial V
 power up with V
AUX
not present. Full priority is assigned to the regulator
whenever V
 is not present. This forces the regulator to
be fully active under all V
CC
 conditions.
The Drive logic output is actively pulled up to V
 and
ramps up accordingly with the input supply voltage.
