This article presents linear regulators and the computation of its efficiency. It also describes the advantages and other properties of a linear regulator, as well as the low drop out (LDO) regulator, ...

People have been predicting the demise of low-drop-out linear regulators in cars for many years. Yet low-drop-out (LDO) regulators continue to survive and even thrive because they're cheap and easy to ...

Each linear regulator type has advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately, it is up to the designer to determine whether a certain type is appropriate for the application based on its dropout voltage, ...

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 ...

Texas Instruments said that its latest linear regulator eliminates the need for a number of discrete components, resulting in around 75 percent higher efficiency and 100 percent more power density ...

It’s become a matter of debate as to precisely when the 78xx series of linear regulators were designed or when they hit the market for that matter. Some will tell you their lineage can be traced back ...

ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed the "BD9xxN5 Series" of LDO regulator ICs with 500mA output current, featuring its proprietary ultra-stable control technology "Nano Cap (TM)." This series is designed for ...

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 ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ABLIC Inc. (President: Nobumasa Ishiai, head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo hereinafter “ABLIC”), a group company of MinebeaMitsumi Inc. today launched the S-19255 Series of ...

AP7369Q is a series of 45V input low-drop-out linear regulators from Diodes that can provide up to 150mA to a load. Quiescent current can be as low as 2.1µA and, depending on variant, the output is ...

Today in power electronics, the folks over at Texas Instruments have put together a video covering low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. For a hacker, power is pretty fundamental, so it behooves us to ...
