3.2.9. Closed-loop Stability

The power supply shall be unconditionally stable under all line/load/transient load
conditions including capacitive loads specified in Section 3.2.8. A minimum of 45 degrees
phase margin and 10 dB gain margin is recommended at both the maximum and minimum
loads.

3.2.10. +5 VDC / +3.3 VDC Power Sequencing

The +12 VDC and +5 VDC output levels must be equal to or greater than the +3.3 VDC
output at all times during power-up and normal operation. The time between the +12 VDC
or +5 VDC output reaching its minimum in-regulation level and +3.3 VDC reaching its
minimum in-regulation level must be

≤ 20 ms.

3.2.11. Voltage Hold-up Time

The power supply should maintain output regulation per Section 3.2.1 despite a loss of
input power at the low-end nominal range—115 VAC / 57 Hz or 230 VAC / 47 Hz—at
maximum continuous output load as applicable for a minimum of 17 ms.
