The ZXTR2000 family of high-voltage regulators from Diodes Incorporated boosts power-circuit densities through reductions in component count and footprint by monolithically integrating a transistor, ...

Last month we showed you how to use resistors to reduce voltage. While it's a viable solution for many cases it isn't for others. As noted before, resistors work for devices whose load remains ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Diodes Incorporated (NAS: DIOD) , a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic and ...

The circuits were designed using a single IC L200 to create two different regulators where one circuit functions as high current regulator using NPN pass transistors while the other circuit functions ...

A power converter generates a voltage and current for a load with all the output power coming from the input source – no energy is manufactured inside the converter and some inevitably gets used by ...

Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...

Low dropout (LDO) regulators play a very important role in the power management of an integrated circuit. As a result, mindful designing and selection of LDO circuits become crucial. This article ...

For as versatile and inexpensive as switch-mode power supplies are at all kinds of different tasks, they’re not always the ideal choice for every DC-DC circuit. Although they can do almost any job in ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...
