Rectifier ripple voltage formula
So I thought the ripple voltage was approximated by the formula
Vr,pp = Vp / fRC
for a half-wave rectifier, and Vp/2fRC for a full-wave.
Yet simulation shows ...

Measuring Output Ripple Voltage Problem
This is a followup of my previous question.
Boost IC = NCV3063
Vin = 8V
Vout = 23V
Iout(max) = 250mA - (Load is a constant current circuit which is enabled at 200Hz)
Schematic
Mentioned the ...

Allowable ripple voltage
Boost converter PTN04050C is used to generate 5.3V from a 3.7V Li battery in a battery powered device. The 5.3V will be used to generate 3.3v (using LDO) for microcontrollers and +- 15v & 5v for ...

Vdc in ripple factor
V_p(rect) is the rectified unfiltered peak voltage
V_r(pp) is the peak-to-peak voltage after filtering by a capacitor
Here is a picture:
V_r(pp) is given by the expression:
Which I have no problem ...

How unstable can digital supply voltage be?
I'm trying to pick the best (cost-effective, small footprint, reliable) dc-dc converter, to convert 24V -> 5V for my device. In the future I'm planning to switch to 3.3V.
The device consists of ...

Power supply problem, what is the correct solution?
My result is "No" because the DC voltage is around 14.86 v and the ripple voltage is around 9.9 volts but I'm not convinced about the result especially for the ripple voltage. Does anybody ...

Why am I getting this oscilloscope reading? (Half wave rectifier)
I’m trying to use a half wave rectifier with a capacitor filter and instead of getting a ripple voltage at the output it’s giving a signal that looks like white noise(pic below). Any ideas?
(a signal ...
