Improving Power-Supply Regulation for Pulsed Loads

Power supply voltage-regulator circuit speeds up response to sudden load changes. As load increases, additional feedback path is enabled. Path bypasses and provides faster loop response than normal feedback path. Steady-state instability due to faster loop response avoided by progressively disabling bypass loop and allowing normal feedback path to take over.

Surge protection with automatic reset

Circuit turns power off automatically when surge occurs and restores power when voltage returns to normal. Transmitters and other equipment are protected in electrically noisy environments; however, if three transient overvoltages (or continuous overvoltage) are sensed within 3.2 seconds, circuit turns power supply off permanently since serious failure may have occurred.
