Commonly used 3-pin linear voltage regulators, for example the LM317, cannot handle input voltages in excess of about 30V. The LR8A from Supertex Inc is a new, adjustable three pin regulator that can ...

This circuit is a Mosfet-based linear voltage regulator with a voltage drop of as low as 60mV at 1A. The circuit uses a 15V-0-15V transformer and employs an IRF540 N-channel Mosfet (Q1) to deliver the ...

Is it possible to design an unconditionally stable linear voltage regulator? In fact, many believe that most regulator ICs are unconditionally stable. The answer is both simple and complex, if it is ...

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 ...

Infineon has introduced six automotive linear regulators, protected against 40 or 45V, and supplying 3.3 or 5V at up 500mA, some with enable, watchdog or reset circuits (see the table below). Picking ...
