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 ...

The importance of low Iq with linear regulators and LDOs. A look at low-Iq voltage supervisors in portable electronics. Battery-voltage supervisors in the IoT. In my article “What is the Essence of ...

What are typical applications for a low dropout (LDO) linear regulator? LDO linear regulators are usually employed in systems that require a low-noise power source instead of a switching regulator ...

Low dropout (LDO) regulators play a very important role in the power management of an integrated circuit. As a result, mindful designing and selection of LDO circuits become crucial. This article ...

This article tackles about the advantages of linear regulators, as well as its drawbacks when it is used in battery-operated portable equipment. Comparisons between linear regulators and switching ...

The voltage reference is the last ingredient necessary to build a voltage regulator, otherwise known as the king of power management and power conversion. The most popular voltage references are based ...

What is a good solution for generating a tiny dc supply voltage of a few hundred millivolts? The answer is all that is needed is a clean additional positive voltage to hook up to the feedback resistor ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...
