Surprising facts, like “old fangled” 3-leg linear regulators (LM317, LM337, LM350, et al.) can be used in shunt regulator topologies can sometimes inspire “new fangled” circuit designs. Figure 1 shows ...

This article was prompted by a friend of mine asking for help on a board with an ESP32 heart. The board outputs 2.1 V instead of 3.3 V, and it doesn’t seem like incorrectly calculated feedback ...

A while back, I published the Design Idea (DI) “Simple PWM interface can program regulators for Vout < Vsense.” It showed some simple circuits for PWM programming of standard bucking-type regulator ...

The messages of conventional wisdom and “rules of thumb” that were perhaps once true can take a long time to change. Consider the widely held view on step-down (buck) switching dc-dc regulators ...

Regulated compressed air is widely used in industry for a number of reasons, safety from electrocution being just one of them. A significant disadvantage, however, is the high cost of regulated air ...

A new two-stage non-relieving diaphragm regulator from Beswick Engineering improves on the company's original two stage diaphragm regulator. The PRD3-ANB-C-DEF pressure regulator has an improved valve ...

Vicor Corporation announced the expansion of its Picor Cool-Power® ZVS Buck Regulator product line for high efficiency point-of-load DC-DC regulation. Vicor Corporation has expanded its Picor ...
