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, ...

As system voltages decrease and currents increase, engineers are moving away from the traditional three-terminal regulator to a more efficient power conversion technique; namely, a high-frequency ...

Linear regulators have limitations with regard to supplying a quiet voltage rail. Alternatively, some very quiet switch-mode power converters, along with some design considerations, can provide a very ...

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 ...

We’ve often heard you should do everything twice. The first time is to learn what you need to do, and the second time is to do it right. We bet [Ian Carey] would agree after taking his old linear ...
