This article was prompted by a friend of mine asking for help on a board with an ESP32 heart. The board outputs 2.1 V instead of 3.3 V, and it doesn’t seem like incorrectly calculated feedback ...

Surprising facts, like “old fangled” 3-leg linear regulators (LM317, LM337, LM350, et al.) can be used in shunt regulator topologies can sometimes inspire “new fangled” circuit designs. Figure 1 shows ...

A while back, I published the Design Idea (DI) “Simple PWM interface can program regulators for Vout < Vsense.” It showed some simple circuits for PWM programming of standard bucking-type regulator ...

The messages of conventional wisdom and “rules of thumb” that were perhaps once true can take a long time to change. Consider the widely held view on step-down (buck) switching dc-dc regulators ...

Regulated compressed air is widely used in industry for a number of reasons, safety from electrocution being just one of them. A significant disadvantage, however, is the high cost of regulated air ...

Voltage regulators are at the heart of modern electronics, ensuring stable power delivery for everything from smartphones to data centers. New designs, like hybrid piezoelectric converters and ...

A new two-stage non-relieving diaphragm regulator from Beswick Engineering improves on the company's original two stage diaphragm regulator. The PRD3-ANB-C-DEF pressure regulator has an improved valve ...

Vicor Corporation announced the expansion of its Picor Cool-Power® ZVS Buck Regulator product line for high efficiency point-of-load DC-DC regulation. Vicor Corporation has expanded its Picor ...
