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 ...

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 ...

Feedback-control schemes for linear systems have been around since at least the 17 th century, regulating pressure and distance between millstones and then, famously, to control James Watt’s steam ...

In the past few years, the pitch on digital control of switching regulators has been rising steadily. In a typical analog implementation, a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) switching regulator is built ...

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 ...

When designing the power section of any board, the most used voltage regulators are 78XX, 79XX, LM317, LM337 or similar. Engineers know these controllers are safe. reliable and easy to use, but they ...

Monolithic, or integrated, linear voltage regulators make it possible to build a stable power supply with a small number of parts, saving both time and space. Additionally, a lot of the modern devices ...

TTM Technologies, Inc. has announced the launch of the MSK5065RH module, a high-efficiency, radiation-hardened switching regulator designed for demanding space and defense applications. part of their ...
