[Techtoolslist] Dummy load on power supply

[Brad Gass]

In the non-arcade SMPS part of my world, as a general rule 5% of rated output is usually more than sufficient to stabilize cross-regulation - sometimes it's a lot less actually.  However, I can't speak directly to the cross-regulation performance of the Peter Chou supplies as I've never loaded them in that manner.  But if it's one of the 15A units, I think 1A should be more than enough.

I am testing a board that takes 12v in.  I am using a Peter Chau supply on my bench.  As the voltages follow 5v on those I need to load the supply somewhat to stabilize  Is 1A enough?  

Thanks,
David
