Sanity check: Input and output filter for a stacked pair of DC/DC converters
In my current project, I need voltages of +/- 30V and +/- 15V for analog control purposes. The current on the 30V rails is fairly limited, ca. 70mA max on one rail and <10mA on the other. The 15V ...

Is there any offline circuit simulator software that can simulate a noisy power supply?
I have been using Circuit Wizard (Its the only offline program that I can find!). Unfortunately, it is really basic, and I have outgrown it.
I need to simulate a 5V circuit with a noisy power supply,...

Reducing power supply ripple for GSM modem
I'm powering a SM5100B GSM modem from a 5A bench supply (peak current is 2A). The required supply range is Vmin=3.3V, Vnom=3.6V, Vmax=4.2V, so I'm giving it 4V. Every so often, the module will reboot (...

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 ...

Techniques for removing mains ripple
Lets say I have a critical device, which requires almost no ripple in voltage and draws a very high current. What are some ways, other than a simple capacitor which take out the ripple from the full-...

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 ...

Full-wave bridge rectifier with capacitor filter and ripple voltage
According to various sources, the ripple voltage of a full-wave bridge rectifier is
$$ V_r = \frac{V_s}{2}fCR $$
where \$V_s\$ is the peak of the input voltage source, \$f\$ is the frequency, \$C\$ ...
