Internal operating voltages in electronic devices continue to decrease, but input-source voltages don't change. As the difference between input and output voltages increases, so does the improvement ...

Empower Semiconductor, Inc. has introduced its first series of quad-output step-down converters to its family of integrated voltage regulators (IVRs) that combine high current density and efficiency, ...

ON Semiconductor has announced two new low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator ICs. Building on the company's power management portfolio for automotive applications, the new devices are ideal for use in ...

Ricoh has launched a voltage regulator, the RP155Z, with a special pin-selectable dual-voltage level output set within a range of 1.6V and 3.6V. The capability to shift voltage levels between one of ...

Integrating both a 36 V fast buck and linear regulator, the LTM8028 µModule®regulator from Linear Technology produces a low noise, digitally programmable, regulated output voltage (Fig. 1). Fig. 1.

“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 ...

Low-dropout (LDO) regulators are a go-to for engineers needing ultra-clean, stable power for sensitive electronics. They excel at filtering noise from switching converters, but their efficiency can ...

Last month we showed you how to use resistors to reduce voltage. While it's a viable solution for many cases it isn't for others. As noted before, resistors work for devices whose load remains ...

A synchronous step-down switching regulator has been designed by Linear Technology to deliver 1A on a 100V input with efficiency up to 90%. Burst mode operation is used to keep quiescent current under ...
