A recent Design Idea, “Three discretes suffice to interface PWM to switching regulators,” demonstrated one way to use PWM to control the output of a typical switching voltage regulator. There were ...

Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being ...

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 ...

Today there are 19 space-grade, non-isolated switching regulators offered by 12 suppliers. Which part is right for your project? Most vendors will say theirs is the best DC-DC to power your load.

Fairchild Semiconductor developed the FAN5358, a 2MHz, 500mA, synchronous Buck regulator that meets the design challenge of portable devices, especially smartphones, data cards and tablets. Designers ...

Probe orientation and shielding can separate real buck-regulator output-voltage ripple from radiated switching noise.

This article explains how to extend the battery life of a device by adding a nanopower converter to an existing system, which ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power management leader, Kinetic Technologies, is expanding its DC-DC Conversion portfolio with the introduction of KTB8400 OptiComp™ buck switching regulator.

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 ...
