EEVBlog #1116 - How to Remove Power Supply Ripple

EEVblog

Why people recommend it

Dave Jones shows that linear regulators reject little high frequency ripple and demonstrates a capacitance multiplier as a cheap fix; a regular link in ripple filtering questions.

Watch for: the regulator ripple test from 5:17 to 6:15

In their words

In EEVBlog #1116, Dave discusses a method to remove power supply ripple, and goes on to show (see 5:17 to 6:15) that you cannot count on linear regulators to remove your input ripple.

Now I have taken the trouble to watch two movies on YouTube (the Dave's movie suggested by C36 and the FesZ's movie) and I saw that I had basically guessed the idea.
