There are many circuits for low voltage regulators. For higher voltages, such as supplies for valve circuits, the situation is different. That’s why we decided to design this simple regulator that can ...

People often forget that many voltage regulator ICs have an upper limit (usually 35 V) on the input voltage they can handle. That applies primarily to types with a fixed output voltage. Adjustable ...

“Chapter 5; Horowitz and Hill”. University students of all subjects will each have their standard texts of which everyone will own a copy. It will be so familiar to them as to be referred to by its ...

To improve efficiency in high-power applications, voltage regulators can be used in parallel to double output current capability—if a means of forcing current sharing is provided. One circuit approach ...

Switching noise in power converters can be difficult to eliminate. However, a well-designed and optimized snubber circuit ...

Properly selected components make it easier to design modern, energy-efficient power supplies. In this article we present an ...

We often use linear regulators in our designs. They are cheap and simple – you put the regulator chip itself on the board, add two capacitors, and get a voltage. Linear regulators are imperfect, of ...

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 ...
