When driving high-brightness LEDs with switching regulators, LED requirements will influence many details of regulator design including the methods used for closing the feedback loop and for LED ...

Some 99 percent of the “design” problems associated with linear and switching regulators can be traced directly to the improper use of capacitors: wrong type, wrong value, or incorrect physical ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3512, a high voltage isolated monolithic flyback regulator that significantly simplifies the design of an isolated DC/DC converter. No optocoupler, third ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. expanded its microBUCK® family of integrated synchronous buck regulators with a new 3 A device offering a fixed 650 kHz switching frequency and a wide input voltage range ...

Voltage regulators that maintain output control almost to the supply rail operate cooler and increase efficiency. As a rule, voltage regulators require input voltages higher than their outputs. The ...

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 ...

Low dropout (LDO) regulators play a very important role in the power management of an integrated circuit. As a result, mindful designing and selection of LDO circuits become crucial. This article ...

Electronic air-pressure regulation beats out mechanical methods. Regulated compressed air is widely used in industry for a number of reasons, safety from electrocution being just one of them. A ...

PID controller design has long been central to the stable and efficient operation of automatic voltage regulator (AVR) systems worldwide. Contemporary research in this field focuses on the ...
