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 ...

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 ...

The EPC7C023 is a 5A linear regulator that can be user configured as a standard linear regular or a low-dropout voltage (LDO) linear regulator. This evaluation board utilizes the EPC7019G HEMT as the ...

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 ...

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 ...

A linear modern control system design technique was employed on a nonlinear robotics system to determine the applicability of the linear design method to nonlinear systems. This paper examines the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
