There are many circuits for low voltage regulators. For higher voltages, such as supplies for valve circuits, the situation is different. That’s why we decided to design this simple regulator that can ...

People often forget that many voltage regulator ICs have an upper limit (usually 35 V) on the input voltage they can handle. That applies primarily to types with a fixed output voltage. Adjustable ...

“Chapter 5; Horowitz and Hill”. University students of all subjects will each have their standard texts of which everyone will own a copy. It will be so familiar to them as to be referred to by its ...

In a fashion similar to using stacked Zeners for voltage regulation, this LED circuit cleverly combines voltage reference and voltage indication. Fig 1. This voltage regulator circuit (a) uses green ...

Low-dropout voltage regulators (LDOs) in CMOS technology have become a cornerstone of modern integrated circuit design owing to their ability to deliver a stable output voltage even when the ...

Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...

Nerd Ralph loves cheap and dirty hacks, and for that we applaud him. His latest endeavor is a LiFePO4 battery charger that he made out of parts he had on hand for under $0.50 US. (Although we think he ...

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 ...
