Ripple noise on the output voltage

This test measures the ripple voltage captured on the output terminal of the buck converter
evaluation board.
For this test, you will:
•
Connect the 3 Ω load resistor to the output terminals of the buck converter
•
Connect test leads to the output terminals of the buck converter
•
Supply 12 V to the input terminals of the buck converter
•
Reset the instrument
•
Select the digitize voltage function and set sample rate to 1 megasamples per second with a
sample count of 100
•
View the data on the graph screen
•
Turn on horizontal cursors to measure the magnitude of the voltage ripple
