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 ...

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 ...

A recent Design Idea, “Three discretes suffice to interface PWM to switching regulators,” demonstrated one way to use PWM to control the output of a typical switching voltage regulator. There were ...

Designers traditionally build switch-mode DC/DC converters using analog components (bespoke ICs, operational amplifiers, resistors, capacitors and the like) to control the feedback loop and to ...
