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 ...

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 ...

This article presents linear regulators and the computation of its efficiency. It also describes the advantages and other properties of a linear regulator, as well as the low drop out (LDO) regulator, ...

Using a “trick,” a switching or linear regulator can generate lower voltages than the feedback voltage. It requires another positive supply voltage connected to the resistive divider to adjust the ...

Linear voltage regulators continue to enjoy widespread use despite the increasing popularity of switching approaches. Linear regulators are easily implemented, and have much better noise and drift ...

The linear regulator is a fundamental component in power electronics, designed to convert a higher input voltage into a stable, lower output voltage. These voltage converters behave like a dynamic ...

Designed as cost-effective drop-in replacements for LM78xx linear regulators, the K78-LB series by Mornsun is available from Relec Electronics. The K78xxJT-500R3-LB and K78xx-500R3-LB (K78-LB) family ...

Today in power electronics, the folks over at Texas Instruments have put together a video covering low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. For a hacker, power is pretty fundamental, so it behooves us to ...
