About the Low noise power probe panel PCB

Low noise power probe panel is an open source PCB design by blinken, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. It is a 6-layer board measuring 149.4 × 124.8 mm, with 105 components from 43 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the OPA354, ADP7142AUJZ-2.5, MCP73213T-A6SI/MF, ADP7182AUJZ-2.5 and HUSB238. By type, the board carries 35 resistors, 20 capacitors, 15 diodes, 12 ICs, 8 connectors and 7 transistors.

It belongs with the test & measurement and power & battery designs in this gallery.

From the project

Low-noise oscilloscope power rail probe

An Open Hardware low-noise power rail oscilloscope probe, loosely based on the excellent writeup by Andrew Levido [PDF archive].

The probe allows you to measure millivolt-level ripple on a power rail up to 20V, using a normal oscilloscope, by applying a vertical offset. This open design costs <10% of the price of the Tektronix TPR1000.

Measurement of 60mV p-p ripple on a 20V rail (ie. ripple 19.97V - 20.03V) using an inexpensive Picoscope 2204A
