How to Measure Power Supply Output Ripple
Testing for output ripple voltage and compliance of a Power Supply Unit (PSU). Units of Measurement . Ripple is commonly measured in millivolts peak to peak (mVp-p) for most ATX computer applications. This is the measurement of the amplitude of the waveform from its highest voltage to its lowest voltage in a given frequency or time period.

(Source: Murata). Image used courtesy of Bodo''s Power Systems [PDF] Ripple Current: The ripple current specification of a capacitor is vital for high-current power supply applications. A large ripple current can cause internal heating inside the capacitor, increasing its operating temperature and reducing reliability and service life ...
How to Choose a Bypass Capacitor Size
Capacitor Ripple Current, Transient and Surge Power Load Ratings. Continuous ripple current, power rating, transient/pulse capabilities etc. are the key parameters to consider for a proper capacitor selection in electric circuit design. Capacitors are naturally limited by its capability to handle/dissipate ripple current and pulse energy …
Unregulated Power Supply
As the capacitor, C1 cannot have an infinite value, it cannot provide a perfectly smooth DC output supply which in some cases can take on the form of a sawtoothed waveform. The variations in the output waveform due to the capacitors inability to maintain a steady output is called "Ripple" and ripple is produced for every complete cycle of the AC input.

Input capacitor ripple current ratings | Power Integrations, Inc.
Input ripple current calculated by PI Expert is quite high for Linkswitch II designs - for example 0.39A in your RDR158 reference designs and 300mA in my own. Do the input capacitors have to be rated for this ripple current? If so the capacitors are quite large. As far as I can see the C2 you use in RDR158 (TYD2GM100G13O) has a ripple …
How to Calculate Filter Capacitor for Smoothing Ripple
What''s Ripple in Power Supply Circuits In most AC to DC power supplies the DC generation is obtained by rectifying the AC input electricity and purifying by means of a smoothing capacitor. Despite the fact that the course removes the AC to practically an absolute ...

What is Ripple & Noise? How to measure it?
It is the small unwanted residual periodic variation of the direct current (DC) output of a power supply which has been derived from an alternating current (AC) source. The wave form is shown as figure below. There are two AC contents, also known as Ripple and Noise (R&N), on the DC output. The first one, coming from sine wave rectification, is at a low …
Film capacitors: Characteristics and uses in power applications
Film capacitors as power filters. Although filtering is often seen as a signal level function, in inverters and motor drives particularly, output capacitors pass high ripple currents to prevent high dV/dt levels on cabling causing stress and EMI (Figure 7). As AC is passed to the load, the capacitors must be non-polarised, anyway excluding use ...
