A recent Design Idea, “Three discretes suffice to interface PWM to switching regulators,” demonstrated one way to use PWM to control the output of a typical switching voltage regulator. There were ...

Take advantage of current control topologies without self-heating error while retaining the 317/337's fault protection ...

Empower Semiconductor, the world leader in integrated voltage regulators (IVRs), announced a partnership with Marvell Technology, Inc. to develop optimized integrated power solutions for Marvell ...

Circuit designers and manufacturers seem to like inexpensive electrolytic capacitors in regulator applications. They work way past the equipment warranty but fail 10 or so years down the road. Fig. 7: ...

Integrated voltage regulators allow the PCB design to simplify the PDN by being placed as close as possible to the load, improving the power-delivery performance.

How To Test a Regulator-Rectifier. A regulator-rectifier test can help determine whether the motorcycle’s battery and electrical systems receive the correct voltage and identify potential signs of ...
