Did you ever wonder how the mechanical voltage regulator — that big black box wired up to the generator on a car from the ’60s or before — worked? [Jonelsonster] has some answers. For most people in ...

The importance of low Iq with linear regulators and LDOs. A look at low-Iq voltage supervisors in portable electronics. Battery-voltage supervisors in the IoT. In my article “What is the Essence of ...

The COTS approach enables designers to perform early development and preliminary evaluation, said Microchip. With the COTS MIC69303RT, space system developers can rapidly develop prototypes and final ...

Power-hungry AI chips in data centers are increasingly powered from below, with DC-DC converters placed directly beneath the processor rather than crowded around it on top of the PCB. The closer ...

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 ...

People often forget that many voltage regulator ICs have an upper limit (usually 35 V) on the input voltage they can handle. That applies primarily to types with a fixed output voltage. Adjustable ...

Voltage control in power electronics underpins the reliable conversion and regulation of electrical energy in applications ranging from renewable‐energy interfacing to uninterruptible power supplies ...

I have a universal PSU with a variety of tips and voltage that can be dialed in from 3V to 24V. The knob is not super easy to dial in though to get a precise value. However, once I set a value, the ...
