The 200% Peak Power Excursion time increases compare to what is listed in Table 3-3
to include the time it takes for I_PSU% to report that the power supply is above 100%
plus the time it takes for the processor to react to that level of power excursion.
The Testing Duty Cycle is the same as defined in Section 3.1.2, which is needed to
test a specific power supply.
The Test Criteria for these peak power excursions are different than what was
specified in Section 3.1.2. When a PSU includes I_PSU%, Table 4-13 and Table 4-14
show the RMS test conditions based on the power excursions defined. For all power
supplies with a rated wattage different than the two examples shown will require a
similar RMS calculation to be performed.

The Capacitive Load mentioned in Table 4-6 is expected to be applied to this test
scenario.
