1. Core Focus: Performance Characteristics

The document is *entirely* dedicated to showing how the LDK120 regulator performs under various conditions. The primary method of presentation is through graphs. Key parameters tested and visualized include:

️· Voltage and Current: Input and Output voltages, and load current (IOUT) are fundamental to almost every graph.
️· Temperature: Performance is shown at various temperatures.
️· Frequency Response: Stability and performance related to signal frequencies (SVR, Noise) are analyzed.
️· Stability: Graphs depict stability regions with different output capacitor (COUT) values.
️· Transients: Response to sudden changes in input voltage (line transient) and load current (load transient) are examined.
️· Noise: Output noise characteristics are measured across different frequencies.

2. Specific Tests & Graphs (in order of appearance):

️· Figures 1-2: Show temperature variations.
️· Figures 3-4: Line transient response.
️· Figures 5-6: Load transient response.
️· Figures 7-8: Output Noise.
️· Figures 9-10: Stability regions vs. Cout (fixed and adjustable versions).
️· Figures 11-12: SVR vs. frequency.
️· Figures 13-28: A series of graphs showing various parameters as described above.

3. Key Parameters & Conditions used in tests:

️· VIN: Input Voltage
️· VOUT: Output Voltage
️· IOUT: Output Current (typically 10mA is used)
️· VEN: Enable Voltage (grounded to shutdown).
️· COUT: Output Capacitor (varying values are used to test stability).
️· CBYP: Bypass Capacitor
️· VEN: Enable Pin
️· VADJ: Adjustable Output Voltage.
