Boost converter vs Buck Converter?

<< < (3/3)

mariush:
In some scenarios, you'd want to avoid using a switching power supply to power your circuit, because the output of a buck or boost converter isn't a very smooth voltage, it has ripple and noise.

For example when developing a microcontroller that makes measurements using its ADC, the noise from buck regulator could affect the ADC measurements.

That's one of the reasons why adjustable power supplies in the past used big transformers and pass transistors, basically those worked like linear regulators, outputting smooth voltage with minimal ripple.

Whitch power supply do you recommend? Link please?
