I'm frequently asked why I refer to the effective inductance of a voltage reference, voltage regulator, or op-amp in my articles. Others question “Is there really an inductor in there?”, “Where does ...

It would be a masterpiece of understatement to suggest that control loop compensation holds much significance in power converter design. This is true in part because of increasing demand for ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The goal of this project was to design and build an efficient power supply system whose output voltage (V OUT) could be accurately set to a digitally ...

Many embedded systems require a stable, low-noise DC reference. This reference can be a stable current or voltage source. These references are used in many ways. Some typical uses are listed as ...

A voltage reference is a critical to the ultimate achievable accuracy of a signal-processing front end and subsequent analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion performance “down the line.” As ...
