The voltage reference is the last ingredient necessary to build a voltage regulator, otherwise known as the king of power management and power conversion. The most popular voltage references are based ...

Many low-dropout voltage regulators include an enable-input pin that can also serve as an inexpensive alternative to a voltage-supervisor IC. Although the enable pin normally serves as a means of ...

An electronic circuit used to maintain a level amount of voltage in an electrical line. It eliminates power surges, spikes and brownouts, which can cause harm to sensitive electronics. A voltage ...

Sense resistors in series with the load can force current sharing between regulators, but using low-side sense elements yields even better results. To improve efficiency in high-power applications, ...

This voltage regulator delivers smooth control of a constant voltage from 0 to 8 V. It protects the load against short circuits and indicates connection, overload, and output level. The series chain ...

[Afroman] contacted us to share his new video on the LM317. The humble LM317 adjustable voltage regulator is everywhere. From wifi routers, to high spec lab equipment. Given a noisy input and a ...

Two DC stages DC-to-DC conversion typically starts with 48 V (or sometimes 54 V), and first drops it to 12 or 6 V. Then it is ...

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 ...
