Measurements and analysis of power supplies with oscilloscopes
Tektronix technical article translated by Juan Ojeda from AFC Ingenieros (jojeda@afc-ingenieros.com)
Power supplies can be found in a variety of electronic devices, from children's toys to computers, and from office supplies to industrial equipment. They are used to convert electrical energy from one type to another in order to achieve the correct functioning of the devices. Common examples are AC-DC converters, which convert AC voltages to regulated DC voltages, or DC-DC converters, which convert battery voltage to required voltage levels.
