DC Power Supply Measurements with Bode 100

This application note explains how to analyze the behavior of power supplies containing step-down DC/DC converters.

Electronic devices nowadays tend to be designed smaller and more multifunctional. Due to the higher technological complexity also the sensitivity for external influences increases and theirfore also the quality requirements on their power supplies.

In order to ensure the quality of DC power supplies the exigency of performing more detailed and accurate tests is given.

Bode 100 can be easily used to measure the indicators for the stability of a control loop and to visualize the influence of input voltage and load current changes. These tests provide significant information on the behavior of a DC/DC converter in real life operation.
