This article presents linear regulators and the computation of its efficiency. It also describes the advantages and other properties of a linear regulator, as well as the low drop out (LDO) regulator, ...

Many low-dropout voltage regulators include an enable-input pin that can also serve as an inexpensive alternative to a voltage-supervisor IC. Although the enable pin normally serves as a means of ...

Is it possible to design an unconditionally stable linear voltage regulator? In fact, many believe that most regulator ICs are unconditionally stable. The answer is both simple and complex, if it is ...

Linear voltage regulators are key components in any power-management system that requires a stable and ripple-free power supply. A subset of linear voltage regulators is a class of circuits known as ...

The importance of low Iq with linear regulators and LDOs. A look at low-Iq voltage supervisors in portable electronics. Battery-voltage supervisors in the IoT. In my article “What is the Essence of ...
