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, ...

Today in power electronics, the folks over at Texas Instruments have put together a video covering low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. For a hacker, power is pretty fundamental, so it behooves us ...

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 ...

What is the function of a voltage regulator IC? A voltage regulator generates a fixed output voltage of a preset magnitude that remains constant regardless of changes to its input voltage or load ...

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 ...

This article discusses the importance and application advantages of switching regulators in electronic system design, introduces different types of switching converters, and compares the differences ...
