Different tolerances influence the precision of SMPS output voltage regulation. This article explains the different sources of inaccuracy and shows how the total tolerance range is established.
The next generation of high-performance CPUs and GPUs targeting the demanding needs of AI and HPC will generate a significant amount of heat, making efficient cooling solutions critical for optimal system performance and sustainability.
Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, modern oscilloscopes are making SMPS testing tasks easier than ever.
Engineers may struggle with making accurate ripple measurements using an oscilloscope. However, there are many ways for this seemingly simple measurement to go awry
