10.2 Output Short-Circuit Measurements

It is difficult to obtain repeatable and similar short-circuit testing results. The following contribute to variation in results:

  • Source bypassing
  • Input leads
  • Circuit layout
  • Component selection
  • Output shorting method
  • Relative location of the short
  • Instrumentation

The actual short exhibits a certain degree of randomness because it microscopically bounces and arcs. Ensure that configuration and methods are used to obtain realistic results. Do not expect to see waveforms exactly like those in this data sheet because every setup is different.
