Editor's note: Designers at all levels of power management design will find this application article both educational for those not very familiar with these basic concepts as well as an excellent ...
(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) The linear voltage regulator was introduced in Part 11 of this series (link below).
Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...
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 ...
A low-dropout (LDO) regulator is a simple, inexpensive way to generate a regulated output voltage from a higher-voltage input. It’s inherently low-noise because it has no switching transients, and it ...
