This article explains how to create a brushed DC motor programmable speed regulator that is low-noise, high-performance, and affordable. The regulator is not affected by changes in temperature, ...

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 ...

This circuit regulates a DC power output. It has a very wide application range. It can be used to control the speed of a motor, a pump, a toy train, the brightness of a LED or lamp, etc. Practically, ...

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 ...

It is a fully integrated device in two versions (IR3826AM for 16 A and IR3826M for 23 A) for applications such as netcom router and switches, datacom, telecom base stations, server and enterprise ...

Did you ever wonder how the mechanical voltage regulator — that big black box wired up to the generator on a car from the ’60s or before — worked? [Jonelsonster] has some answers. For most people in ...

In this guide, we explain the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) in simple terms for everyone to understand. For the optimal performance and longevity of electronics, it is important to maintain stable ...

International Rectifier expanded its SupIRBuck portfolio of versatile wide input, single output integrated point-of-load (POL) DC-DC voltage regulators with the introduction of the IR380x family for ...

The importance of low Iq with linear regulators and LDOs. A look at low-Iq voltage supervisors in portable electronics. Battery-voltage supervisors in the IoT. In my article “What is the Essence of ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...
