What do you do when your maximum input voltage = 90V and /or linear regulator has unreasonable power dissipation? First, here are a few specifications to digest for a 24V @ 70°C ambient application: ...
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 file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A common project requirement is to have an adjustable voltage regulator programmed to deliver a specific dc output.
To improve efficiency in high-power applications, voltage regulators can be used in parallel to double output current capability—if a means of forcing current sharing is provided. One circuit approach ...
Internet of Things (IoT) applications are getting numerous, more power-stringent and smaller with every generation, requiring tighter control of power management and maximized function integration.
Power management of battery-powered electronic devices is becoming increasingly more important for the microelectronics industry. This white paper details the difference between low dropout (LDO) ...
