Will High Side IGBT Driver work with high ripple power supply?
The Vdrive voltage in the below circuit is supplied from rectified mains, including filter caps. The problem is that filter caps for this kind of application get expensive really fast, so I am ...

Why is it suggested to power XOs with LDOs?
I've read in various places that crystal oscillator ICs require very clean power (as opposed e.g. to your usual 3.3V rail from some switching regulator) and one way to achieve that was via LDOs. (Ref1)...

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 ...

For the capacitor specification "Ripple Current at Low Frequency" is a higher value better for a linear power supply?
I'm finding information that seems to be contradictory in various places, and I think people are talking about different ways of looking at the same spec.
The specification that Digikey uses to search/...

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 ...

Definition of current ripple
I understand the definition of the ripple factor (for current) as
\$ripplefactor = \frac{\sqrt{I_{rms}^2-I_{avg}^2}}{I_{avg}} \$
Is this the same as "current ripple" (in percentage) where ...

EMI voltage ripple issue for low side NFET
Under some user suggestion, I decided to drive my 10-ohm load heater using a low side NFET. I put a 1k resistor (R1) at the NFET gate to reduce ringing. I got, before placing the resistor, a very bad ...

Reducing full wave bridge rectifier ripple in preamplifier
It is a fairly simple question with similar answers, but I need help with my project.
I built a single supply 30W power amplifier and a preamplifier with tone control. Both amplifiers are powered from ...

How to reduce the DC power supply ripple noise during relay switching
I have relay controlled by BC547 transistor powered by 24V Zener regulator.
The transistor is switched by a microcontroller which is powered by a 5V linear regulator.
The linear regulator receives ...

If cost can be ignored, is a higher-value capacitor for ripple suppression always a good choice?
To calculate what value of a capacitor is suited for ripple suppression,
we can use this formula:
Cmin = Load Current / (Ripple Voltage X Frequency)
It seems a ...

Opamp output unexpected ripple
I have made a very simple inverting opamp amplifier to convert an output of 0-3.3V from a DAC to somewhere between -10 to +10V.
My reference (REF_1.65) is 3.3V/2 made simply by a 10k/10k divider of ...
