LMK04821: Power supply ripple

Part Number: LMK04821

Tool/software:

Is there a ripple specification for the power supplies?

  • Hi William,

    I am working towards answering your question, but the lab work required will take me a bit of time. I will have an answer for you by the end of the week.

    Thanks,

    Michael

  • Hi William,

    There is no ripple specification that has been measured for this device. The LMK0482x line features internal capacitance which, if paired with decoupling capacitors and the other power supply recommendations featured in the data sheet, can provide sufficient voltage stabilization. 

    If there is still concern regarding ripple, I would invite you to take a look at the user guide for the LMK04828EVM (LMK04826/28 User’s Guide (Rev. B) (ti.com)), which features schematics for the power supply. The EVM comes with a built-in LDO, which - when paired with decoupling capacitors - will completely reduce the effects of any introduced ripple. Hope this helps. 

    Thanks,

    Michael
