How to Measure Ripple Voltage in SMPS (with Oscilloscope Tips)

Learn how to measure ripple voltage in a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) using an oscilloscope. Ripple voltage is a key parameter in power supply performance, often caused by the internal switching action of the SMPS. High ripple levels can affect audio, digital, and RF circuits. In this practical demo, we use a ground spring probe to minimize noise and capture accurate results. Ideal for electronics hobbyists, engineers, or anyone interested in switching regulator behavior. 🔧 Topics covered: What is ripple voltage? Why does ripple occur in SMPS?
