Ripple and noise
D.E.V.I.C.E. is an encyclopedia of terms used by manufacturers of test and measurement equipment. T&M Atlantic created this service to better explain the functionality of instruments it offers, and to highlight the latest developments in the world of measurement equipment. We are using such tools as animation to bring words and pictures to life and to create not just an understanding but also an appreciation for technology that goes into the design of every instrument.

If you are searching for a particular term or definition, please contact us and our engineers will be glad to explain it to you.
Ripple is a low frequency component and will be occur at the same as the converter operating frequency, or some multiple thereof.
Noise is much higher frequency than the ripple and can be up into the MHz range. Noise occurs in the form of “bursts” at the time of switching activity in the converter, so therefore appears to be superimposed upon the peaks and valleys of the ripple waveform as shown below.
