Subtag of power-supply

Anything about ripple in power supplies and the techniques to reduce its magnitude or its influence on the powered circuits.

The ripple is a residue of line AC and/or of the switching waveform (for SMPS) superimposed to the output DC of a power supply. Ripple is a phenomenon due to the unavoidable imperfection of the conversion process from AC to DC or from DC to DC.
