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, ...

This article tackles about the advantages of linear regulators, as well as its drawbacks when it is used in battery-operated portable equipment. Comparisons between linear regulators and switching ...

People have been predicting the demise of low-drop-out linear regulators in cars for many years. Yet low-drop-out (LDO) regulators continue to survive and even thrive because they're cheap and easy to ...

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 ...

Numerous electronic components like phase-lock loops, FPGA transceivers, and precision op-amps require a low noise voltage rail in order to operate as specified. More often than not, when a need for a ...

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 ...

It’s become a matter of debate as to precisely when the 78xx series of linear regulators were designed or when they hit the market for that matter. Some will tell you their lineage can be traced back ...

Diodes has created a quiet low-drop out (LDO) linear regulator for powering ADCs, DACs, VCOs and phase-locked loops. “With up to 90dB PSRR [power supply ripple rejection], and output noise at 8μVrms, ...

Texas Instruments ( TXN) or "TI" recently launched two low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulators, 250-mA LP5907 and 800-mA LP38798. TI's 250-mA LP5907 LDO comes with unique features such as ...

The first thing I ever built without a kit was a 5 V regulated power supply using the old LM309K. That’s a classic linear regulator like a 7805. While they are simple, they waste a lot of energy as ...

Bangalore, INDIA and Campbell, California, 21th April 2011:-Cosmic Circuits, a leading provider of Analog and Mixed-Signal IP cores, today announced that Innofidei Inc., a Chinese based IC and system ...
