Source measurement unit instruments (or SMU instruments) can make the job of characterizing linear voltage regulators—both conventional and low dropout (LDO) regulators—easier. Source measurement unit ...

This paper will enable the user to understand the operation of switching and linear voltage regulators. The most commonly used regulating modes will be covered. For linear regulators, the Standard, ...

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 ...

These boards demonstrate how radiation-hardened GaN devices can enable tight regulation, low dropout performance, and ...

The output ripple of a standard isolated dc-dc converter is between 0.5% and 1% of its nominal output voltage. For applications requiring a lower output ripple, linear voltage regulators can reduce a ...

The footprint of device – OPTIREG TLS715B0NAV50 – (TSNP-7-8 package, 2.0 mm x 2.0 mm) is more than 60% smaller than that of an established reference product (TSON-10 package, 3.3 mm x 3.3 mm) while ...

For as versatile and inexpensive as switch-mode power supplies are at all kinds of different tasks, they’re not always the ideal choice for every DC-DC circuit. Although they can do almost any job in ...

Linear Technology has announced new wider temperature range versions of its LT1763, LT3008 and LT3010 high voltage linear regulators. The new high reliability MP grade features operation from -55 to ...

Linear Technology has produced a high-power dual voltage reference, allowing the reference replace the circuit power supply regulator. Specs are excellent, with outputs offering 0.05% initial accuracy ...

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 ...
