| '''Voltage [[Droop_(control)#Droop|droop]]''' is the intentional loss in output [[voltage]] from a device as it drives a load. Employing droop in a [[Voltage regulator|voltage regulation circuit]] increases the headroom for load transients.

| | |
| | |
| Although it may seem counterproductive, a series resistor is included between the regulator output and the load. The resistance needs to be chosen so that at maximum output current, the output voltage at the load is the minimum acceptable. Conversely, when the output current is (near) zero, the voltage is near the maximum. This follows simply from [[Ohm's law]]. The behaviour of the system with and without the added droop resistor is as follows:

| In a regulator not employing droop, when the load is suddenly increased very rapidly (i.e. a transient), the output voltage will momentarily sag. Conversely, when a heavy load is suddenly disconnected, the voltage will show a peak. The output decoupling capacitors have to "absorb" these transients before the loop has a chance to compensate. A diagram of such transients is shown below. The maximum allowed voltage swing in such a transient is <math>V_{max} - V_{nom}</math>.

| | |
| Comparing this to a regulator with droop, we find that the maximum allowed swing has doubled: it is now <math>V_{max} - V_{min}</math>. This increased tolerance to transients allows us to decrease the number of output capacitors, or get better regulation with the same number of capacitors.

Andrew Simcox is the title his parents gave him and he completely loves this name. What me and my family members adore is bungee jumping but I've been using on new issues recently. Some time in the past she chose to live in Alaska and her parents reside nearby. Credit authorising is where my primary income comes from.
