We submerge somewhat deeper into analysis of the seemingly simple TL431 voltage reference with transconductance amplifier to find that some useful design parameters are missing from the manufacturer ...

There are many circuits for low voltage regulators. For higher voltages, such as supplies for valve circuits, the situation is different. That’s why we decided to design this simple regulator that can ...

In the first installment of this series we had a look at the noise generated at the output of a number of easy to build and cheap voltage regulators: single-chip series and shunt regs (LM317/337 and ...

This voltage regulator delivers smooth control of a constant voltage from 0 to 8 V. It protects the load against short circuits and indicates connection, overload, and output level. The series chain ...

Download this article in PDF format. Analog semiconductor companies release buck-regulator chips so often you might think nothing of it. Yet there’s an enormous amount of work that goes into getting ...

Need a compact solar power regulation module for low-consumption systems? This solar cell voltage regulator is designed to sit between a solar panel and a rechargeable battery. The circuit ensures ...

Abstract: The sub-regulators for biasing circuits represent a further development of Zener-diode voltage regulators. The line resistor is substituted by a line transistor which is controlled by the ...

Electronic systems require specific DC levels for safe and efficient operation. Initially, rectifiers convert alternating current (AC) from the main power supply into DC. DC-to-dc converters (Figure 1 ...
