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, ...

This article tackles about the advantages of linear regulators, as well as its drawbacks when it is used in battery-operated portable equipment. Comparisons between linear regulators and switching ...

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 ...

LDOs can offer the low noise and PSRR performance to be used in wide voltage range applications such as in test and measurement systems, write Amit Patel and Steve Knoth Linear Regulators are ...

The output ripple of a standard isolated dc-dc converter is between 0.5% and 1% of its nominal output voltage. For applications requiring a lower output ripple, linear voltage regulators can reduce a ...

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 ...

This article discusses the importance and application advantages of switching regulators in electronic system design, introduces different types of switching converters, and compares the differences ...

Diodes has created a quiet low-drop out (LDO) linear regulator for powering ADCs, DACs, VCOs and phase-locked loops. “With up to 90dB PSRR [power supply ripple rejection], and output noise at 8μVrms, ...

The first thing I ever built without a kit was a 5 V regulated power supply using the old LM309K. That’s a classic linear regulator like a 7805. While they are simple, they waste a lot of energy as ...
