Testing a regulator all the way down to zero volts to see how it behaves and finding an output level, below which bad things ...

As their production costs fall, LEDs are being used more often in applications ranging from handheld devices to automotive and architectural lighting. Their high reliability (operational lifetimes of ...

Exploring DAC control of a regulator while ignoring the many possibilities for integrating its internal voltage reference into the design.

Download this article in PDF format. Analog semiconductor companies release buck-regulator chips so often you might think nothing of it. Yet there’s an enormous amount of work that goes into getting ...

Voltage regulators that maintain output control almost to the supply rail operate cooler and increase efficiency. As a rule, voltage regulators require input voltages higher than their outputs. The ...

This article was prompted by a friend of mine asking for help on a board with an ESP32 heart. The board outputs 2.1 V instead of 3.3 V, and it doesn’t seem like incorrectly calculated feedback ...

PID controller design has long been central to the stable and efficient operation of automatic voltage regulator (AVR) systems worldwide. Contemporary research in this field focuses on the ...

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 ...

Electronic air-pressure regulation beats out mechanical methods. Regulated compressed air is widely used in industry for a number of reasons, safety from electrocution being just one of them. A ...
