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, ...

Many low-dropout voltage regulators include an enable-input pin that can also serve as an inexpensive alternative to a voltage-supervisor IC. Although the enable pin normally serves as a means of ...

Linear Technology introduces the LTM8020, the first in a new family of DC/DC uModule regulator systems that operate from higher voltage input supplies of up to 36V (40Vmax). The LTM8020 is a 200mA ...

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 ...

For thirty-seven years after introduction of the first three-terminal adjustable linear regulators, this topology has seen virtually no major architectural changes. These older generation linear ...

For as versatile and inexpensive as switch-mode power supplies are at all kinds of different tasks, they’re not always the ideal choice for every DC-DC circuit. Although they can do almost any job in ...

QUESTION: There are so many different voltage regulators on the market these days. How do I pick one that will be good for my circuit? ANSWER: Wow, this is a tough question, but also a good one. I’ll ...

Linear Technology has unveiled the LT3045, an ultra-low noise, ultra-high power supply ripple rejection (PSRR) low dropout voltage linear regulator. The device is a higher output current version of ...
