Linear regulator ICs offer simple, efficient, and effective solutions in a multitude of low- to moderate-power voltage regulation applications. They also provide opportunities for many simple ...

Simply connecting a power supply to a load is not always so simple. Voltage drop due to wires, cables, connectors and circuit board traces can cause considerable regulation errors at the load. It is ...

Linear voltage regulators are key components in any power-management system that requires a stable and ripple-free power supply. A subset of linear voltage regulators is a class of circuits known as ...

In the old days every instrument or system had a power supply board with discrete, homemade regulators on it to power the system. Then IC’s like the LM7805 series of voltage regulators changed ...

Low dropout (LDO) regulators play a very important role in the power management of an integrated circuit. As a result, mindful designing and selection of LDO circuits become crucial. This article ...

DC/DC point-of-load switch mode regulator Circuit with spread spectrum frequency modulation can be designed for low EMI, write Alan Chern, Doug La Porte and Afshin Odabaee Switch mode DC/DC regulators ...

The following analysis looks at a basic step-down (buck) voltage regulator. Allowing for circuit differences, there are parallels in all switching-regulator topologies. It’s impossible to understand ...

DC-to-DC switching converters are widely used in most portable devices. They efficiently generate various regulated supply voltages for different sub-blocks within the same system board. A typical ...
