This article was prompted by a friend of mine asking for help on a board with an ESP32 heart. The board outputs 2.1 V instead of 3.3 V, and it doesn’t seem like incorrectly calculated feedback ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3995, a 3 A, 60 V step-down dc/dc switching regulator that requires only 2.7 µA of quiescent current. The LT3995 step-down switching regulator from Linear ...

The STR-Y6700 Series of off-line, quasiresonant switching regulators eliminates the need for dedicated power supplies to standby circuits. The STR-Y6700 Series of off-line, quasiresonant switching ...

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 ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT8610, a 2.5A, 42V input capable synchronous step-down switching regulator. Synchronous rectification delivers efficiency as high as 96% while Burst Mode® ...

The above title is not happenstance and was arrived at after considerable deliberation. As a linear IC manufacturer, it is our goal to encourage users to design and build switching regulators. A ...

A recent Design Idea, “Three discretes suffice to interface PWM to switching regulators,” demonstrated one way to use PWM to control the output of a typical switching voltage regulator. There were ...

This article looks at how special converters equipped with PassThru mode can be useful when the circuit’s input voltage is too high or too low to power a load. It will give examples of how PassThru ...
