Hold Up Time Analysis

DESIGN PHASE:       analysis
SUB ELEMENT NAME:   hold up time analysis
VARIABLE NAME:      [HEATHUT]
DATE:               REVISION LETTER:    REVISION DATE:  
APPLICABILITY:      regulator circuit

ACTIVITY:  Analyze hold up time of regulator.  Manual or Spice analysis.

OUTPUT:  Plot of hold up time characteristics.

ALGORITHM:

[HEATHUT] =         engineer time for hold up time analysis
0.0*[PARTS COUNT]+  set up time
0.0*(               time per plot
[INPUT COUNT]*
[OUTPUT COUNT])     number of hold up time plots
