Linear and Switching Voltage Regulators
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...
Low Dropout Linear Regulators
Reference circuits and linear regulators actually have much in common. In fact, the latter could be functionally described as a reference circuit, but with greater current (or power) output...
Switching Regulators
The switching regulator is increasing in popularity because it offers the advantages of higher power conversion efficiency and increased design flexibility (multiple output voltages of different polarities can be generated from a single input voltage)...
Switching Regulators Demystified
You can see the proliferation of switching regulators throughout the electronics industry. These versatile devices can perform many functions, including voltage regulation, current regulation, or both...
Introduction to Power Supplies
Virtually every piece of electronic equipment, e.g., computers and their peripherals, calculators, TV and hi-fi equipment, and instruments, is powered from a DC power source, be it a battery or a DC power supply...
Switched Capacitor Voltage Conversion
Virtually every piece of electronic equipment, e.g., computers and their peripherals, calculators, TV and hi-fi equipment, and instruments, is powered from a DC power source, be it a battery or...
