Dear All,

Please go through the attachment.

It would be really helpful if I get some solution.

Thanks,
Satheesh
 

I think the spikes are a natural result of the hard switching from the switch causing a sudden flow of excess charge into and out of the capacitors. One possible solution could be to increase the size of the caps, or to ramp the switching process by putting a filter at the switch.

Connect a capacitor large enough between GND & probe 2 may scale down the spike to some extent.
