(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) The linear voltage regulator was introduced in Part 11 of this series (link below).

The switching-versus-linear regulators debate is rather like ac versus dc power. Most people take it to be about which is best, and that has been decided, so discussion over. The traditional, widely ...

Diodes Incorporated has introduced new space-saving package options for its ZXTR2000 series of high-voltage linear regulator transistors designed for 48V circuits in networking, telecom and power-over ...

A low-dropout (LDO) regulator is a simple, inexpensive way to generate a regulated output voltage from a higher-voltage input. It’s inherently low-noise because it has no switching transients, and it ...

Need an alternative to a switched-mode power supply? This project yields a 500+ VA, linear, symmetrical voltage regulator marked by low dropout voltage, high output current, and excellent stability.

Abstract: The behavior of the solution of the Riccati equation for the linear regulator problem with a parameter whose perturbation changes the order of the system is analyzed. Sufficient conditions ...
