The switching-versus-linear regulators debate is rather like ac versus dc power. Most people take it to be about which is best, and that has been decided, so discussion over. The traditional, widely ...

Editor’s note: In Part one, we looked at an intro and the basics of linear regulator and switching power supply operation. This final part two will look at design considerations of the switching power ...

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 ...

Plessey Semiconductors announced the release of the PS2292X family of easy-to-use, robust, linear regulator products that uses Plessey's bipolar process to offer industry-leading, low noise ...

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 ...

IXYS Corporation’s IXI858 and IXI859 Gate Driver/Regulator ICs are designed to provide the needed analog functions required by microcontrollers to implement offline digital power supply control, such ...

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 ...

Linear Technology Corporation has introduced the LTC3896, a high voltage inverting switching regulator controller that drives an all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stage. Most low to medium power ...

These boards demonstrate how radiation-hardened GaN devices can enable tight regulation, low dropout performance, and flexible loop compensation in compact architectures” — Bel Lazar, EPC Space CEO ...
