The output ripple of a standard isolated dc-dc converter is between 0.5% and 1% of its nominal output voltage. For applications requiring a lower output ripple, linear voltage regulators can reduce a ...

Electronic systems often require multiple voltages to power the various internal circuits. Non-isolated regulators are a common and easy way to convert one voltage to another. Regulators typically ...

Linear regulators convert unregulated dc voltage to regulated dc voltage. They are good vehicles to use to begin a voltage-regulator study because with them, you can apply the feedback knowledge that ...

The switching-versus-linear regulators debate is rather like ac versus dc power. Most people take it to be about which is best, and that has been decided, so discussion over. The traditional, widely ...

Linear regulators have limitations with regard to supplying a quiet voltage rail. Alternatively, some very quiet switch-mode power converters, along with some design considerations, can provide a very ...

People have been predicting the demise of low-drop-out linear regulators in cars for many years. Yet low-drop-out (LDO) regulators continue to survive and even thrive because they're cheap and easy to ...

We often use linear regulators in our designs. They are cheap and simple – you put the regulator chip itself on the board, add two capacitors, and get a voltage. Linear regulators are imperfect, of ...

This article discusses the importance and application advantages of switching regulators in electronic system design, introduces different types of switching converters, and compares the differences ...

Infineon has introduced six automotive linear regulators, protected against 40 or 45V, and supplying 3.3 or 5V at up 500mA, some with enable, watchdog or reset circuits (see the table below). Picking ...
