We submerge somewhat deeper into analysis of the seemingly simple TL431 voltage reference with transconductance amplifier to find that some useful design parameters are missing from the manufacturer ...

“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 ...

Need a compact solar power regulation module for low-consumption systems? This solar cell voltage regulator is designed to sit between a solar panel and a rechargeable battery. The circuit ensures ...

Abstract: In this work, we propose a quick response circuit to improve the load transient response of fully low dropout voltage linear regulator (LDO) which is operable with a very low power ...

The simplest of fan-control schemes an on-off switch is simple but inefficient, because it provides more cooling than necessary most of the time. When The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off ...

Abstract: In this paper, a simple and accurate analytical switching loss model is proposed for high frequency synchronous buck voltage regulators. The proposed model uses simple equations to calculate ...

In Seemingly Simple Circuits: The TL431 Voltage Regulator, Part 2, we looked at how voltage gain of the TL431 is measured. Now we plunge deeper in, to look at closed-loop output resistance, derive ...
