When reaching for a power supply design it’s normal here in 2022 to reach for a switching design. They’re lightweight, very efficient, and often available off-the-shelf at reasonable prices. Their ...

Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...

Useful for electronics hobbyists, this linear workbench desktop power supply circuit converts a high input voltage (12V) from the SMPS of a PC into low output voltage (1.25 to 9 volts). An adjustable ...

Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of the device. The design consists of two main parts: the main regulator circuit and the current-limiting circuit. IC3 is the LM338 5A positive linear regulator. 1 ...

The digital low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator is one of the latest innovations in the power industry, bringing telemetry and adjustability to a linear power supply in a very small footprint. The ...

Noise is a constant problem in power-supply design. While there are FCC limits on the electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiating out into the air as well as the conducted noise that your design ...

Modern integrated circuits are increasingly vulnerable to power supply noise and the ensuing induced jitter, phenomena that can significantly impair circuit reliability and performance. The interplay ...
