People often forget that many voltage regulator ICs have an upper limit (usually 35 V) on the input voltage they can handle. That applies primarily to types with a fixed output voltage. Adjustable ...

Why the power-delivery network is critical in modern power electronics. How integrated voltage regulators can improve the PDN and simplify the PCB design. How IVRs improve power delivery to processors ...

For the longest time, Zener diode regulators have been one of those circuits that have been widely shared and highly misunderstood. First timers have tried to use it to power up their experiments and ...

Monolithic, or integrated, linear voltage regulators make it possible to build a stable power supply with a small number of parts, saving both time and space. Additionally, a lot of the modern devices ...

To improve efficiency in high-power applications, voltage regulators can be used in parallel to double output current capability—if a means of forcing current sharing is provided. One circuit approach ...
