We use batteries to supply power in several projects. The chemicals contained in the battery are converted into an electrical current, which in turn makes the battery contain the potential energy.

[Ken] needed to supply 3.3 volts of regulated power. He started by using a linear voltage regulator but after a few calculations he discovered that 72% of what he put in was lost to heat. The solution ...

In the design of power supplies, the desired output voltages can be set manually. This is accomplished in most integrated power supply circuits, as well as switching and linear regulator ICs, with the ...

Sculpted for precision and ultra-precision applications, the PFC series voltage-divider chips are available with either tantalum nitride (TaNFilm) technology for precision performance or tantalum ...
