This circuit regulates a DC power output. It has a very wide application range. It can be used to control the speed of a motor, a pump, a toy train, the brightness of a LED or lamp, etc. Practically, ...

Power-supply designers can choose from a plethora of available positive buck regulators that can also serve as negative boost dc/dc converters. Some buck regulators have a negative-feedback reference ...

Voltage regulators play an important role in many power systems. The first part of this Back to Basics article examines the role of several types of regulators including low-dropout voltage regulators ...

Two DC stages DC-to-DC conversion typically starts with 48 V (or sometimes 54 V), and first drops it to 12 or 6 V. Then it is ...

STMicroelectronics’ L99VR03 300mA low-dropout regulator provides resilient and efficient power, with a wide input-voltage range.

It is a fully integrated device in two versions (IR3826AM for 16 A and IR3826M for 23 A) for applications such as netcom router and switches, datacom, telecom base stations, server and enterprise ...

For as versatile and inexpensive as switch-mode power supplies are at all kinds of different tasks, they’re not always the ideal choice for every DC-DC circuit. Although they can do almost any job in ...

International Rectifier expanded its SupIRBuck portfolio of versatile wide input, single output integrated point-of-load (POL) DC-DC voltage regulators with the introduction of the IR380x family for ...

Many modern servers, as well as telecom and networking equipment, are populated with multiple voltage regulators on the system board to provide power to ICs or subcircuits. These power rails often ...
