The Fairchild switching regulator circuit. From the μA723 data sheet in their 1973 linear IC databook, page 194 onwards.
The LM2596 regulator is monolithic integrated circuit ideally suited for easy and convenient design of a step−down switching regulator (buck converter). It is capable of driving a 3.0 A load with ...
An open-loop EA phase margin of 45° to 80° is commonplace, although this parameter is often not explicitly specified in a controller or regulator IC datasheet. However, the amplifier large-signal slew ...
An IC with a buck regulator, boost regulator, and a linear charger combine to seamlessly maintain a constant VOUT even if VIN drops out for a short time.
Nerd Ralph loves cheap and dirty hacks, and for that we applaud him. His latest endeavor is a LiFePO4 battery charger that he made out of parts he had on hand for under $0.50 US. (Although we think… ...
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 ...
Allegro MicroSystems has unveiled a new three-phase MOSFET driver IC with an integrated low dropout regulator supplying 5 or 3.3V. The A4919 is designed for a wide range of industrial applications. It ...
Ricoh has introduced an application processor supervisory IC with a wide operating voltage range up to 36V for automotive applications. The R5110 combines a LDO Voltage Regulator, Voltage Detector and ...
