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 ...

The car cigarette lighter socket does not only light cigarettes, but can be utilized as an electrical channel for powering tools to work on the car such as laptops and other electronic devices. The ...

“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 ...

Low-dropout voltage regulators (LDOs) in CMOS technology have become a cornerstone of modern integrated circuit design owing to their ability to deliver a stable output voltage even when the ...

The 7805 voltage regulator is a great device if you want a simple way of bringing a voltage down to 5V. It’s a three-pin, one-component solution that puts out five volts and a lot of heat. Simple, not ...

In a fashion similar to using stacked Zeners for voltage regulation, this LED circuit cleverly combines voltage reference and voltage indication. Fig 1. This voltage regulator circuit (a) uses green ...

Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...

In this guide, we explain the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) in simple terms for everyone to understand. For the optimal performance and longevity of electronics, it is important to maintain stable ...
