QUESTION: There are so many different voltage regulators on the market these days. How do I pick one that will be good for my circuit? ANSWER: Wow, this is a tough question, but also a good one. I ...

A single-phase chopper-controlled Alternating Current (AC) voltage regulator circuit is designed for 36 V low-voltage application scenarios. The study involves theoretical analysis, simulation ...

It’s often necessary to connect point-of- load (POL) dc/dc power supply modules in parallel to get a sufficiently high-current output for applications such as test instruments ...

Adding a secondary feedback circuit can help resolve voltage-headroom and adjustment-resolution limitations when replacing an analog potentiometer with a digipot.

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 ...

The circuit takes an unregulated DC input voltage (typically higher than 5V) via the J1 connector. The 7805 voltage regulator (U1) steps down the input voltage to a regulated 5V.
