Hi everyone,

Been using DC-DC converters more and more nowadays, and was experimenting with 
Linear's Switcher-CAD software.  I noticed that the startup transients are 
pretty high (relative to the desired output voltage) on the simulator.  
Example:  5V buck regulator has a transient up to 6.5V.  And I'm discovering 
that other buck converters do this as well.

Isn't this a problem for PIC and/or TTL circuits?  Or is the duration of this 
transient (few milliseconds) too short to cause any damage?

Happy Holidays,
-Neil.
