We often use linear regulators in our designs. They are cheap and simple – you put the regulator chip itself on the board, add two capacitors, and get a voltage. Linear regulators are imperfect, of ...

A 2-A model added to the V78XX switching regulator series is an alternative to linear regulators. The series does not require a heat sink and has efficiencies up to 92% in an 11.50 x 9.00 x 17.50-mm ...

Researchers have determined how the master transcriptional regulator of the heat shock response, known as heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), is controlled in yeast. Understanding how HSF1 works, how it is ...

Researchers create a polymer thermal regulator that can quickly transform from a conductor to an insulator, and back again. This control of heat flow at the nanoscale opens up new possibilities in ...

Editor's note: Designers at all levels of power management design will find this application article both educational for those not very familiar with these basic concepts as well as an excellent ...

5/19/2003 Edited byPETech Staff High Input Voltage Step-Down Switching Regulator Linear Technology’s new LT3431 is a high-voltage constant frequency step-down switching regulator that uses a 3A ...

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 ...

Restoring old gear often means replacing unavailable parts with modern equivalents. [Alex Eisenhut] needed to replace some old TO-3 voltage regulators and decided to make an authentic-looking ...
