In this article, we focus on two key application-oriented parameters of the linear regulator: Power Supply Ripple Rejection (PSRR) and output noise. These parameters have been discussed before (see ...

The importance of low Iq with linear regulators and LDOs. A look at low-Iq voltage supervisors in portable electronics. Battery-voltage supervisors in the IoT. In my article “What is the Essence of ...

Maxim Integrated Products has introduced a low-output-voltage linear regulator capable of delivering up to 100mA for always-on applications. The MAX16999 is designed as a parallel supply for powering ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

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 ...

Adding to its LDO+ family, Linear Technology has introduced a 600mA low dropout negative linear regulator featuring low noise, rail to rail operation, precision programmable current limit and a ...

Linear Technology has announced new wider temperature range versions of its LT1763, LT3008 and LT3010 high voltage linear regulators. The new high reliability MP grade features operation from -55 to ...

For as versatile and inexpensive as switch-mode power supplies are at all kinds of different tasks, they’re not always the ideal choice for every DC-DC circuit. Although they can do almost any job in ...
