Editor’s note: In Part one, we looked at an intro and the basics of linear regulator and switching power supply operation. This final part two will look at design considerations of the switching power ...

Increasing the current capacity of your linear regulator is harder than you think and may not be worth the trouble. Increasing the current capacity of your linear regulator is harder than you think ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

Today in power electronics, the folks over at Texas Instruments have put together a video covering low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. For a hacker, power is pretty fundamental, so it behooves us ...

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 ...

Numerous electronic components like phase-lock loops, FPGA transceivers, and precision op-amps require a low noise voltage rail in order to operate as specified. More often than not, when a need for a ...
