Abstract
A switching power supply for providing a dc voltage with substantially no ripple includes a rectifier for rectifying an ac supply, a filter for filtering the rectifier output and an inductor for current limiting. The filtered output includes a ripple generated by the equivalent series resistance of the filter. This ripple is sensed and used to generate a correcting signal. The correcting signal is arranged and sized so that when it is superimposed on the filtered output, the ripple is substantially eliminated. Preferably the correcting signal is coupled to the inductor.
