The voltage reference is the last ingredient necessary to build a voltage regulator, otherwise known as the king of power management and power conversion. The most popular voltage references are based ...

Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...

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 ...

Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...

Low dropout (LDO) regulators play a very important role in the power management of an integrated circuit. As a result, mindful designing and selection of LDO circuits become crucial. This article ...

This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

DCDC switching converters are widely used in most portable devices. They efficiently generate different regulated supply voltages for different sub-blocks within the same system board. A typical ...
