Abstract
A variable transient simulator employs a source of pulsating DC voltage for charging a first capacitance bank to a desired potential difference. After a device under test (DUT) is connected to a second capacitance bank, the charged-up first capacitance band is isolated from the DC voltage source and allowed to discharge into the second capacitance bank and, together, both capacitance banks provide discharging current into the DUT which simulates a desired loop during transient response. The simulator can provide repetitive as well as variable positive and negative transients.
