s Note on how to use the PSRR curves

(page 8)

We have finished a design and we have chosen for

the components :

• Rin=Rfeed=22kΩ

• Cin=100nF

• Cb=1µF

Now, on fig. 16, we can see the PSRR (input

grounded) vs frequency curves. At 217Hz, we

have a PSRR value of -36dB.

In reality we want a value about -70dB. So, we

need a gain of 34dB !

Now, on fig. 15 we can see the effect of Cb on the

PSRR (input grounded) vs. frequency. With

Cb=100µF, we can reach the -70dB value.

The process to obtain the final curve (Cb=100µF,

Cin=100nF, Rin=Rfeed=22kΩ) is a simple transfer

point by point on each frequency of the curve on

fig. 16 to the curve on fig. 15.

The measurement result is shown on the next

figure.

s Principle of operation

• We fixed the DC voltage supply (Vcc)

• We fixed the AC sinusoidal ripple voltage

(Vripple)

• No bypass capacitor Cs is used

The PSRR value for each frequency is :

Remark : The measure of the Rms voltage is not a

Rms selective measure but a full range (2 Hz to

125 kHz) Rms measure. It means that we

measure the effective Rms signal + the noise.

s Note on PSRR measurement

What is the PSRR ?

The PSRR is the Power Supply Rejection Ratio.

It's a kind of SVR in a determined frequency range.

The PSRR of a device, is the ratio between a

power supply disturbance and the result on the

output. We can say that the PSRR is the ability of

a device to minimize the impact of power supply

disturbances to the output.
