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, ...

In addition, very low output voltage ripple of approximately 250mV (with load current variation of 1mA to 500mA within 1 microsecond) is achieved with a small output capacitance of just 470nF (typical ...

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 ...

Texas Instruments said that its latest linear regulator eliminates the need for a number of discrete components, resulting in around 75 percent higher efficiency and 100 percent more power density ...

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 ...

Today in power electronics, the folks over at Texas Instruments have put together a video covering low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. For a hacker, power is pretty fundamental, so it behooves us ...

It’s become a matter of debate as to precisely when the 78xx series of linear regulators were designed or when they hit the market for that matter. Some will tell you their lineage can be traced back ...

Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being ...

DALLAS, Sept. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today introduced an ultra-low-power low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator with the industry's lowest quiescent current ...

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 ...

Linear regulators convert unregulated dc voltage to regulated dc voltage. They are good vehicles to use to begin a voltage-regulator study because with them, you can apply the feedback knowledge that ...
