There are many circuits for low voltage regulators. For higher voltages, such as supplies for valve circuits, the situation is different. That’s why we decided to design this simple regulator that can ...

The ability to operate at up to 25A is made possible by a new, thermally enhanced 5 x 6 mm PQFN (Power Quad Flat No-Lead) package using a copper clip, as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. Fabrication of the ...

The car cigarette lighter socket does not only light cigarettes, but can be utilized as an electrical channel for powering tools to work on the car such as laptops and other electronic devices. The ...

This voltage regulator delivers smooth control of a constant voltage from 0 to 8 V. It protects the load against short circuits and indicates connection, overload, and output level. The series chain ...

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 ...

Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being ...

While the art of designing efficient and compact DC/DC converters is practiced by a select group of engineers, IC designers often escape dealing with the dreaded topic of heat - a job that usually ...
