Our monthly post on our sister blog, the “Precision Hub” on Planet Analog, focuses on transient stability testing.

In it, I share a recent experience I had with one of our summer interns. He was taking transient stability data on a design and learned an important lesson – the step size of the output signal is extremely important to achieve accurate results.

Read my full post, "Transient stability testing: Watch your step," on Planet Analog to learn how I helped him identify the issue and correct it.

  • Basically you need to provide the correct resistance to ground to "terminate" the signal as it enters your circuit to prevent unwanted reflections or distortion.  The termination resistance will be specified for each instrument or tool but will usually be 50 or 75 Ohms.  I was able to find some useful information with a web search.  Try searching for "50 Ohm Termination"
