Current-limiting regulators protect the circuits they feed but don't necessarily protect themselves against excessive dissipation. Here is an Idea For Design with a regulator that does both. A current ...

Diodes' new series of fixed and adjustable output linear regulators is designed to reduce power consumption and increase regulated voltage output stability. The AP7362 and AP7363 have a dropout ...

We always enjoy [w2aew’s] videos, and his latest on zener diodes is no exception. In it, he asserts that all Zener diodes are not created equal. Why? You’ll have to watch the video below to find out.

This circuit was designed to allow a laptop computer to be powered from a solar power setup. The computer requires 12V at 3.3A. The circuit is a linear regulator with Mosfet Q4 as the series pass ...

Asynchronous vs. synchronous topologies. How a synchronous boost LED controller minimizes efficiency losses. The challenge of low-input-voltage operation. High-power LEDs continue to proliferate in ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has released a 3A-rated low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator supporting 4.4µV RMS operation (at 0.8V output). Delivering a ...

A few years ago, manufacturers specified their white, but dim, LEDs for a maximum forward-current rating of 20 mA. Today's white LEDs deliver more light and thus must operate at ever-higher bias ...
