There are many circuits for low voltage regulators. For higher voltages, such as supplies for valve circuits, the situation is different. That’s why we decided to design this simple regulator that can ...

People often forget that many voltage regulator ICs have an upper limit (usually 35 V) on the input voltage they can handle. That applies primarily to types with a fixed output voltage. Adjustable ...

Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...

In a fashion similar to using stacked Zeners for voltage regulation, this LED circuit cleverly combines voltage reference and voltage indication. Fig 1. This voltage regulator circuit (a) uses green ...

The 7805 voltage regulator is a great device if you want a simple way of bringing a voltage down to 5V. It’s a three-pin, one-component solution that puts out five volts and a lot of heat. Simple, not ...

It’s often necessary to connect point-of- load (POL) dc/dc power supply modules in parallel to get a sufficiently high-current output for applications such as test instruments, blade servers, and so ...

Nerd Ralph loves cheap and dirty hacks, and for that we applaud him. His latest endeavor is a LiFePO4 battery charger that he made out of parts he had on hand for under $0.50 US. (Although we think he ...

Grenoble, France , Dec. 14, 2015 – For SoCs supplied by Lithium-Ion or Alkaline batteries, the actual voltage ranges from 4.4 V in their life, down to 2.0 V over time. They empower IoT devices, which ...

DC-to-DC switching converters are widely used in most portable devices. They efficiently generate various regulated supply voltages for different sub-blocks within the same system board. A typical ...
