Line and Load Transient Analysis

DESIGN PHASE:       analysis
SUB ELEMENT NAME:   line and load transient analysis
VARIABLE NAME:      [HEATL]
DATE:               REVISION LETTER:    REVISION DATE: 
APPLICABILITY:      regulator circuit

ACTIVITY:  Analyze line and load transients.  (Assumes Spice)

OUTPUT:  Plots of line and load transients

ALGORITHM:

[HEATL] =                engineer hours for line and load
                         transient analysis
0.0*[PARTS COUNT]+       set up time
0.0*(                    time per plot
[INPUT COUNT]+           number of line plots
[OUTPUT COUNT])          number of load plots
