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 ...

While linear regulators (LDOs) seem relatively simple, many situations occur in which LDOs perform contrary to your expectations. This application note explores five of those situations, including ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off switch — is simple but inefficient, because it provides more cooling than necessary most of the time. When on, the fully powered switch-controlled fan ...

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 ...

New designs offer low dropout operation, tight regulation, and configurable loop compensation for demanding applications These boards demonstrate how radiation-hardened GaN devices can enable tight ...
