LM5176EVM-HP: Low Frequency Ripple

Part Number: LM5176EVM-HP


Hello,

Upon testing LM5167 EVM, I find that there is a low (~2kHz) output voltage ripple on top of the expected 250kHz output voltage ripple. PSpice simulation does not show this condition.

Test Settings:

Input: DC Power supply @ 24V*

*Also tested with 21V battery input and 2kHz ripple was still present

Output: DC Load at 12V, 1A

Oscilloscope Output: 

CH1: I_out (AC)

CH2: V_out (AC)

Zooming in, 250kHz switching frequency can be seen at output (as expected).

PSpice Simulation: (Only 250kHz switching freq output ripple present)
