The car cigarette lighter socket does not only light cigarettes, but can be utilized as an electrical channel for powering tools to work on the car such as laptops and other electronic devices. The ...

“Electronic voltage regulators are found in devices such as computer power supplies where they stabilize the DC voltages used by the processor and other elements. In automobile alternators and central ...

Every project needs a power supply. As 3.3volt logic replaces 5volt systems, we’re reaching for the LM317 adjustable voltage regulator, rather than the classic 7805. We’ve found four different ...

Although the well-known Type LM317 voltage regulator is already short-circuit-proof, there are cases where a limit of the heavy short-circuit current can be desirable. As the diagram shows, such a ...

Simple LM317 voltage regulator calculator which can give the voltage value with given resistors or scan a resistor series to find combination that gives the closest nominal voltages. The calculator ...

QUESTION: There are so many different voltage regulators on the market these days. How do I pick one that will be good for my circuit? ANSWER: Wow, this is a tough question, but also a good one. I’ll ...

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 ...
