What specs should such a PSU have?

Hi Playmate,

That would be great idea.
But do we know what too order? What is needed? I think it is a pitfall when telling a PSU manufacturer how too put together a PSU in terms of: how to build it and what too put in.

May be is it better too only identify what parameters accurately describe the quality of the power that is needed for an cMP setup.

I came too this approach after reading this article from mr Rob Reeder (senior converter applications engineer at Analog Devices). He argues: “ Engineers commonly feel that a switching power supply can degrade the performance of an A/D converter, leading them to choose a low dropout (LDO) linear regulator over a switcher, but this percep¬tion isn’t entirely true.”
See: http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/rarely_asked_questions/RAQ_tamingADC.pdf

So, do we absolutely need an all linear PSU? May be a mixed-mode PSU with Linear Final Regulation is also sufficient for a cMP setup. Who knows?

What specs should a PSU for a cMP setup have?
