Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being ...

Source measurement unit instruments (or SMU instruments) can make the job of characterizing linear voltage regulators—both conventional and low dropout (LDO) regulators—easier. Source measurement unit ...

This paper will enable the user to understand the operation of switching and linear voltage regulators. The most commonly used regulating modes will be covered. For linear regulators, the Standard, ...

The output ripple of a standard isolated dc-dc converter is between 0.5% and 1% of its nominal output voltage. For applications requiring a lower output ripple, linear voltage regulators can reduce a ...

Is it possible to design an unconditionally stable linear voltage regulator? In fact, many believe that most regulator ICs are unconditionally stable. The answer is both simple and complex, if it is ...

The footprint of device – OPTIREG TLS715B0NAV50 – (TSNP-7-8 package, 2.0 mm x 2.0 mm) is more than 60% smaller than that of an established reference product (TSON-10 package, 3.3 mm x 3.3 mm) while ...

Linear Technology has produced a high-power dual voltage reference, allowing the reference replace the circuit power supply regulator. Specs are excellent, with outputs offering 0.05% initial accuracy ...

Linear Technology has announced new wider temperature range versions of its LT1763, LT3008 and LT3010 high voltage linear regulators. The new high reliability MP grade features operation from -55 to ...

The L99VR03 from STMicroelectronics supplies control units, telematics systems and head units. It has self-adjusting quiescent current consumption and wide input voltage and operating temperature ...

For as versatile and inexpensive as switch-mode power supplies are at all kinds of different tasks, they’re not always the ideal choice for every DC-DC circuit. Although they can do almost any job in ...
