This paper will enable the user to understand the operation of switching and linear voltage regulators. The most commonly used regulating modes will be covered. For linear regulators, the Standard, ...

Linear Technology Corp. recently announced the LT3088, a rugged 800mA wide input voltage range linear regulator. Linear Technology Corp. recently announced the LT3088, a 800mA wide input voltage range ...

The output ripple of a standard isolated dc-dc converter is between 0.5% and 1% of its nominal output voltage. For applications requiring a lower output ripple, linear voltage regulators can reduce a ...

The switching-versus-linear regulators debate is rather like ac versus dc power. Most people take it to be about which is best, and that has been decided, so discussion over. The traditional, widely ...

Linear voltage regulators are key components in any power-management system that requires a stable and ripple-free power supply. A subset of linear voltage regulators is a class of circuits known as ...

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 ...

People have been predicting the demise of low-drop-out linear regulators in cars for many years. Yet low-drop-out (LDO) regulators continue to survive and even thrive because they're cheap and easy to ...

This article discusses the importance and application advantages of switching regulators in electronic system design, introduces different types of switching converters, and compares the differences ...
