NCP11187 - SMPS Design Issues

I have been working on a SMPS design using the NCP11187. It should output 24V DC nominal with a maximum ripple of no more than 100mV Pk-PK and be able to output up to 50 Watts. I have generally ...

Switching power supply has high ripple voltage no matter how many capacitors are added

I'm designing a board that uses a Texas Instruments TLV62569DBVR (datasheet here) to convert 5V input from a USB power supply to 3.3 volts to be used to power an ESP32-WROOM-32D-N4. I am having lots ...

Why is an inductor rather than a capacitor used to smooth switch mode regulators

I understand (at least at a high level) how to use both capacitors and inductors to reduce noise but I don't understand the advantages/disadvantages of each approach or why one is chosen over the ...

How to reduce sinusoidal ripple output coming from SMPS?

I have an SMPS producing output of 12V,1Amps. It is giving a voltage ripple (I am not sure if ripple right term for this) as given in image. I donot have permission to make any changes to this SMPS ...

How does the inductor current ripple influence a switch-mode power supply?

I am looking into several DC/DC switching controllers. When talking about component selection, many datasheets and application notes say that inductor ripple should be kept around 20-40% of the ...

Flyback 120-240VAC to 3.3VDC ripple and simulation

I'm working on a project requiring a 3.3VDC and eventually a 12VDC. The input voltage could be either 120VAC or 240VAC 60Hz. I've found and replicated the design PMP10143 proposed by Texas Instrument ...

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?...

Design of a boost converter with large variation in output current and low output ripple

I'm working on the design of a 24V to 30V boost converter that needs to have an output ripple of less than 100 mV with an output current between 0 and 2 A. The output is used to power a controller for ...
