4.1.5.2 Oscilloscope

A 60-MHz or faster oscilloscope can be used to determine the ripple voltage on 1V5_OUT. The oscilloscope should be set for the following to take output ripple measurements:

  • 1-MΩ impedance
  • AC coupling
  • 1-μs/division horizontal resolution
  • 20-mV/division vertical resolution

TP15 and TP16 can be used to measure the output ripple voltage by placing the oscilloscope probe tip through TP15 and holding the ground barrel to TP16 as shown in Figure 4-2. For a hands-free approach, the loop in TP16 can be cut and opened to cradle the probe barrel. Using a leaded ground connection can induce additional noise due to the large ground loop area.
