Most circuit designers are familiar with diode dynamic characteristics such as charge storage, voltage dependent capacitance and reverse recovery time. Less commonly acknowledged and manufacturer ...

For the longest time, Zener diode regulators have been one of those circuits that have been widely shared and highly misunderstood. First timers have tried to use it to power up their experiments and ...

Replacing an external Schottky diode with an internal synchronous power switch not only minimizes the solution size, but also increases efficiency and reduces power dissipation. The efficiency ...

A 2A, 58VIN step down switching regulator from Linear Technology features Burst Mode operation, which the company claims can maintain quiescent current at less than 85µA. The LT3980 operates within a ...

The AP7380 series of ultralow dropout regulators from Diodes is said to operate from a wide input voltage range and to offer various fixed output voltage options. These features – combined with high ...
