Notes:
1.
Step loads on each 12 V output may happen simultaneously and should be tested that way.
9.4.6 Capacitive Loading
The power supply is stable and meets all requirements with the following capacitive loading
ranges.

9.4.7 Closed-loop Stability
The power supply is unconditionally stable under all line/load/transient load conditions including
capacitive load ranges. A minimum of 45° phase margin and -10 dB-gain margin is required.
The power supply manufacturer provides proof of the unit’s closed-loop stability with local
sensing through the submission of Bode plots. Closed-loop stability is ensured at the maximum
and minimum loads as applicable.
9.4.8 Common Mode Noise
The Common Mode noise on any output does not exceed 350 mV pk-pk over the frequency
band of 10 Hz to 20 MHz.
The measurement is made across a 100Ω resistor between each of the DC outputs,
including ground, at the DC power connector and chassis ground (power subsystem
enclosure).
The test setup uses a FET probe such as Tektronix* model P6046 or equivalent.
9.4.9 Ripple / Noise
The maximum allowed ripple/noise output of the power supply is defined in the following table.
This is measured over a bandwidth of 0 Hz to 20 MHz at the power supply output connectors. A
10 µF tantalum capacitor is placed in parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor at the point of
measurement.
