Last time, we went over switching regulator basics – why they’re wonderful, how do you find a switching regulator chip for your purpose, and how to easily pick an inductor for one. Your datasheet ...

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 ...

Build a switching regulator monolithically or with a controller? Both options offer benefits, but the monolithic route often saves time and space, and exhibits better EMC behavior. 1. Shown are a ...

Manchester, NH, USA, March 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegro MicroSystems, a global leader in power and sensing solutions for motion control and energy-efficient systems, today announced the ...

When considering how best to lay out a switching-regulator board, it's good to recall its purpose, which is to supply a steady voltage of a specific magnitude. Experienced layout designers achieve ...

What is the function of a switching voltage regulator IC? A switching voltage regulator accepts a dc input voltage and converts it to a switched voltage that can extend into the MHz region. Then, it ...

Designers frequently use linear regulators to postregulate switching-regulator outputs. The benefits of this approach include improved stability, accuracy, and transient response, along with lower ...

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 ...

SMT switching regulator The 1-A V78XX- 1000-SMT is a high-performance alternative to linear regulators with efficiencies up to 92% SMT switching regulator The 1-A V78XX- 1000-SMT is a high-performance ...

These are partly line-bound at the input side and output side of the voltage converter, but partially these are also radiated. Those interferences are mainly caused by the rapid switching edges. They ...

This article addresses some of the fundamentals of laying out a switching-regulator board. Although it focuses on a step-up switching-regulator, the concepts it covers are also useful when working ...
