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 ...

Switching regulators with integrated power transistors provide simplicity, require few components, and make compact step-down power supplies. Few of these devices can supply more than 5A load current, ...

Some 99 percent of the “design” problems associated with linear and switching regulators can be traced directly to the improper use of capacitors: wrong type, wrong value, or incorrect physical ...

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 ...
