I am working on a power supply design but I suppose this is a general question that most people will be able to answer.
I am in need of purchasing a load switch from a company and they have assumed that my load is capacitive. Now, in real life, it would be a complex load with cap/ind/res impedances. But I am doing a PhD and using a dummy load of 300kOhms to represent a low power output which is to be switched.
I am confused because, of course, there is some capacitance placed across the output load resistance to reduce ripple and provide voltage hold-up during the switch off times. However, the "load" itself is just a resistor.
In this case, does simply having capacitance across the load resistor make it a technically resistive-capacative load, or is it purely resistive?
Thanks!
