In this guide, we explain the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) in simple terms for everyone to understand. For the optimal performance and longevity of electronics, it is important to maintain stable ...

There will be many times where it is desirable to use the P05 supply module from a higher voltage source. For example, if you want to add balanced inputs to a power amplifier, then you need a +/-15V ...

National’s family of Simple Switcher step-down voltage regulators offers a wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 42V, which allows for wide-voltage transients from 12V and 24V input rails. Internal ...

Download this article in PDF format. Analog semiconductor companies release buck-regulator chips so often you might think nothing of it. Yet there’s an enormous amount of work that goes into getting ...

Addressing the accuracy concerns for the PWM programming of standard regulators requiring an output that can swing below the ...

The simplest of fan-control schemes an on-off switch is simple but inefficient, because it provides more cooling than necessary most of the time. When The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off ...

Some time ago, while designing the PCB for the Sony Vaio replacement motherboard, I went on a quest to find a perfect 5 V boost regulator. Requirements are simple – output 5 V at about 2A , with input ...

Internet of Things (IoT) applications are getting numerous, more power-stringent and smaller with every generation, requiring tighter control of power management and maximized function integration.
