| My switching power supply (mc34063) makes audible noise |
| << < (3/4) > >> |
| Psi:
Can you post a scope pic of the VCC pin, just want to check if your input is stable. |
| sarfata:
Great idea, thanks. I am using a linear lab power supply (mastech hy3003d) by the way. This is the result: There is indeed 1v spikes in the input but this seems to be related to the load (my board and its power supply) because if I just put a resistor (taking much more current) on the output of my power supply I dont see any ripple that big. |
| amyk:
You mention you were powering an ATMega with your SMPS, so is there anything that occurs at ~2.2KHz intervals on it? Have you tried a plain resistive load to see if the spikes go away? Also consider adding another choke at the output --- a few tens of uH should be sufficient. You can learn a bit from looking at PC PSU schematics. |
| T4P:
A resistive load makes the spikes go away, he mentioned |

I know this is a very old topic, but was there any resolution on this issue? I am also seeing the same level of noise on the input and it is not from the powersource bacause with a resistive load it is clean. Regards, Dan |
