Ringing/Noise on smps output while BJT turns on

I am trying to build a 4watt SMPS with 5v output.The design uses BJT switching in quasi-resonant mode. Though I could get the 5V output, I am observing ringing in the output which is increasing the ...

Reducing Voltage Ripple in a Switching Converter.

I used TI's workbench to design a simple 24 to 12V @ 6A. I have it built in a PCB board, but I started doing some power measurements and notice the output voltage ripple is quite high at loads bigger ...

What could be the reason if the AC coupling option goes away when I attach a differential probe (P6248) to a Tek MSO5204 scope?

When the scope is not attached, I could see both AC coupling and DC coupling options for the channel settings. The moment I attach the differential probe, the AC coupling option goes away. Any reason?...
