just as the topic, thanks.
can someone list the reason influences dc-dc output voltage ripple?
 

ESR of the output caps, input/output voltage, L, and switching frequency

Vripple = {[(Vin-Vout)/(L*Freq)]*(Vin/Vout)}*ESR

Load, capacitance and inductance.

so now , if the test result from pcb board, the ripple is a bit larger, which reason?
unstability?
 

Re: can someone list the reason influences dc-dc voltage ri

If the load varies the ripple varies. Higher the load higher the ripple.

Re: can someone list the reason influences dc-dc voltage ri

it really depends on how ur power supply works...

current mode or voltage mode control?
buck or cuk or?

several possible reasons:

if the ripple is at switching frequency, it is due to output cap, ESR, output voltage.

if it is at certain fraction of switching frequency (Fsw/Integer), it might be due to slope compensation and more slope compensation is needed

if large ripple occurs at much slower freq, check if it violate overvoltage protection of controller thus shutting down for long time and repeat itself
