Measuring Output Voltage Ripple
To observe the output voltage ripple, place the oscilloscope probe
across the output capacitor with the probe ground lead connected
to the negative (−) capacitor terminal and the probe tip placed at
the positive (+) capacitor terminal. Set the oscilloscope to ac,
10 mV/division, 2 µs/division time base, and 20 MHz bandwidth.
A standard oscilloscope probe has a long wire ground clip. For
high frequency measurements, this ground clip picks up high
frequency noise and injects it into the measured output ripple.
Figure 2 shows an easy way to measure the output ripple properly.
It requires removing the oscilloscope probe sheath and wrapping
an unshielded wire around the oscilloscope probe. By keeping
the ground length of the oscilloscope probe as short as possible,
the true ripple can be measured.

MODIFYING THE EVALUATION BOARD
To modify the ADP2311evaluation board configuration, unsolder
and/or replace/remove the appropriate passive components or
jumpers on the board.
Changing the Output Voltages

EVAL-ADP2311 User Guide
To limit the output voltage accuracy degradation due to the FBx
bias current (0.1 µA maximum) to less than 0.5% (maximum),
ensure that the bottom divider string resistors, R2 and R8, is less
than 30 kΩ.
The top resistors, R1 and R5, value is calculated using the following
equations:

When the output voltage of Channel 1 is changed, the values of
the inductor (L1) and the output capacitors (C4 and C5) must
be recalculated and changed to ensure stable operation (see the
ADP2311
data sheet for details on external component selection).
Likewise, if the output voltage of Channel 2 is changed, the values
of the inductor (L2) and the output capacitors (C8 and C9)
must be recalculated and changed.
