Hi Thanks all for the reply. my AC power is 50Hz. My confusion is whethre it is just a mesurement problem or the i/p power to the board is really noisy? My board is working properly even when scope shows 50Hz, that means it is a measurement proble?? also please help to find out the exact reason for this to happen.
