When designing the power section of any board, the most used voltage regulators are 78XX, 79XX, LM317, LM337 or similar. Engineers know these controllers are safe. reliable and easy to use, but they ...

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 ...

In advance of the upcoming “Ask the Experts” session on Planet Analog on Wednesday, April 23, at 1:00 p.m. EDT, Planet Analog brings you this series of brief daily “nuggets” to fuel your quest for a ...

In this guide, we explain the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) in simple terms for everyone to understand. For the optimal performance and longevity of electronics, it is important to maintain stable ...

Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...

For the longest time, Zener diode regulators have been one of those circuits that have been widely shared and highly misunderstood. First timers have tried to use it to power up their experiments and ...

When the fuel gauge of his 1975 Triumph Spitfire started going off the scale, the collected knowledge of the Internet indicated that [smellsofbikes] needed to replace a faulty voltage regulator behind ...
