Limits to number of parallel smoothing capacitors in a power supply
Would there be any disadvantage (other than a high component count) to using seven 470 μF, 16 V electrolytic capacitors instead of one 3300 μF, 16 V capacitor to smooth power supply ripple?

How does input voltage ripple affect output voltage of linear regulator?
The problem starts with my 3D printer which is powered by a 12V SMPS. When it drives a heavy load such as heated base and hot end, it causes a ripple on the 12V rail. Also it affects the 5V rail with ...

Ripple and Ringing from Cheap Chinese Boost Converter
I'm using a cheap chinese XL6009 adjustable converter module to boost 5 V to 12 V. To test this converter, I used a 5 V supply, a 120 Ω ohm load to draw 100 mA current (100 mA at 12 V is the ...

Coil winding sense in dual voltage power supply
Hello is the sense of the B winding in the transformer (same as A or opposite than A) can have any effect on the powered circuit?
Maybe due to the fact that the AC ripple of the negative rail is out ...

How does one compute the ripple currents seen by an active PFC output capacitor?
Suppose one is designing a single-phase power-factor-corrected power supply, with a known average current load:
The ripple current seen by the output capacitor is critical. If that current is too ...

DC ripple stabilizer. 3rd order low pass filter. How to supply op-amps properly
I have a cheap ac-dc adapter, but it outputs DC with a ripple.
It has variable output, so it can output 12, 14, 17, and so on up to 32V.
I measured output of ac-dc adapter with an Agilent multimeter, ...
