This article presents linear regulators and the computation of its efficiency. It also describes the advantages and other properties of a linear regulator, as well as the low drop out (LDO) regulator, ...

Linear Technology introduces the LTM8020, the first in a new family of DC/DC uModule regulator systems that operate from higher voltage input supplies of up to 36V (40Vmax). The LTM8020 is a 200mA ...

Electronic systems often require multiple voltages to power the various internal circuits. Non-isolated regulators are a common and easy way to convert one voltage to another. Regulators typically ...

This circuit is a Mosfet-based linear voltage regulator with a voltage drop of as low as 60mV at 1A. The circuit uses a 15V-0-15V transformer and employs an IRF540 N-channel Mosfet (Q1) to deliver the ...

LDOs can offer the low noise and PSRR performance to be used in wide voltage range applications such as in test and measurement systems, write Amit Patel and Steve Knoth Linear Regulators are ...

What are typical applications for a low dropout (LDO) linear regulator? LDO linear regulators are usually employed in systems that require a low-noise power source instead of a switching regulator ...

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 first thing I ever built without a kit was a 5 V regulated power supply using the old LM309K. That’s a classic linear regulator like a 7805. While they are simple, they waste a lot of energy as ...

Bangalore, INDIA and Campbell, California, 21th April 2011:-Cosmic Circuits, a leading provider of Analog and Mixed-Signal IP cores, today announced that Innofidei Inc., a Chinese based IC and system ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...
