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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Commonly used 3-pin linear voltage regulators, for example the LM317, cannot handle input voltages in excess of about 30V. The LR8A from Supertex Inc is a new, adjustable three pin regulator that can ...

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 ...

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 ...

For 0.13um to 0.35um Logic/Mixed-Signal, and 0.18um & 0.35um EEPROM CMOS process technologies Shanghai, CHINA, December 21, 2005 -- Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (“SMIC†, ...

Linear Technology has unveiled the LT3045, an ultra-low noise, ultra-high power supply ripple rejection (PSRR) low dropout voltage linear regulator. The device is a higher output current version of ...

Infineon has introduced six automotive linear regulators, protected against 40 or 45V, and supplying 3.3 or 5V at up 500mA, some with enable, watchdog or reset circuits (see the table below). Picking ...

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 ...
