摘要： An active transient-control circuit included in a power supply responds swiftly to changes occurring in the output-power voltage produced by a power converter to reduce transient changes in the output-power voltage caused by sudden, substantial changes in the electrical current drawn by the load. To respond in this way, when the output-power voltage has a magnitude less than a lower pre-established-voltage threshold, the active transient-control circuit supplies electrical energy directly to the load from the input electrical power thereby augmenting output electrical power supplied to the load by the power converter. Correspondingly, when the output-power voltage has a magnitude that exceeds an upper pre-established-voltage threshold, the active transient-control circuit draws electrical energy directly from the output of the power converter.
