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, ...

A power converter generates a voltage and current for a load with all the output power coming from the input source – no energy is manufactured inside the converter and some inevitably gets used by ...

Linear Technology has announced new wider temperature range versions of its LT1763, LT3008 and LT3010 high voltage linear regulators. The new high reliability MP grade features operation from -55 to ...

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 ...

AP7369Q is a series of 45V input low-drop-out linear regulators from Diodes that can provide up to 150mA to a load. Quiescent current can be as low as 2.1µA and, depending on variant, the output is ...

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 ...

Infineon has introduced six automotive linear regulators, protected against 40 or 45V, and supplying 3.3 or 5V at up 500mA, some with enable, watchdog or reset circuits (see the table below). Picking ...

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 ...

The L99VR03 from STMicroelectronics supplies control units, telematics systems and head units. It has self-adjusting quiescent current consumption and wide input voltage and operating temperature ...

The agileLDO is a linear low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO) providing precision and programmable voltage regulation across a wide range of input and ...
