Ripple current / voltage, what is too much?
FriedMule:
Wow thanks a LOT!!
I have tried to use LTSpice but it do seem hard to use I think.
Sorry for my questions but a drop of 2V or more, that will go t heat, right?
Dave tells that the FET solution mean that you can get wary high caps-"multiplication" since it don't use any current on the gate and therefor the resistor can be wary high.
So the resulting ripple is about 1.2 mV?
If I drop the FET and use two BJT in one of the configurations, that should give less heat, but also the same ripples?
Can I get even better data in both heat and ripple with other solutions?
T3sl4co1l:
Note that the output resistance is 1/Gm, or around an ohm for typical MOSFETs at typical load currents.
Output resistance is defined as a change in voltage for a change in (load) current. So, you will get ripple voltage produced from a ripple-current-drawing load.

Yes, its linear circuit, P=U*I.

No, it is only after cap. multiplier.
LM317 does some ripple rejection too... Voltage regulators have PSRR typicaly at least 60dB (1:1000) at 100/120Hz, meaning you do not even need this cap. multiplier stage to get ripple down to few mV.
FriedMule:
Okay I se but how low do ripple have to be if I maybe want to power a sensitive chip?
Sorry I am a noob:-)

What chip is sensitive?
