Best power supply configuration

I'm making a power supply board with a buck converter for a 2A maximum and I would to know which is the best configuration between these two: Is it best to put the input filter, a parallel damped LC ...

Input filter for switching regulator

I'm trying to create an input filter for a switching regulator for automotive application. My aim is to make a supply board, where from 24V come out 12V (from the buck) then 10V and 5V (from two LDOs)....

Feedback loop design (buck converter): Output capacitance- effective value or nominal value to be considered?

In this TI datasheet of TPS62180, it was mentioned that the LC filter combination should be selected from a set of predefined values. I understand this is usually the case for an internally ...

Load impedance simulation of buck converter

I would like to design a buck converter that will feed a printed circuit board that contains an inductive load like a DC motor and a relay, and some capacitive circuits like RLC filter. I have started ...

Placing an RLC input filter at the input of a buck

Since bucks have current spikes at the input side, it's best to use an input filter as you get better noise reduction than using an output filter (afaik). Using a regulator IC however, that is, one ...

Filter before or after switching regulator?

I will be passing a power line (12V-60Vdc depending on the circumstance) with a lot of noise, 300Hz and above, riding on it through a buck regulator. I want to remove this noise with a filter. I don't ...

Is it useful to think of SMPS input capacitance as part of an LC filter?

I'm at the stage of learning about switched-mode power supplies that I'm focused on understanding the role of input capacitance. Just for background, I'm working with a buck topology for this ...
