The ZXTR2000 family of high-voltage regulators from Diodes Incorporated boosts power-circuit densities through reductions in component count and footprint by monolithically integrating a transistor, ...

Last month we showed you how to use resistors to reduce voltage. While it's a viable solution for many cases it isn't for others. As noted before, resistors work for devices whose load remains ...

Editor’s note: Our guest bloggers are: Donald Schelle is an analog field applications engineer for Texas Instruments and has more than a decade of engineering experience. He received a bachelor’s ...

A power converter generates a voltage and current for a load with all the output power coming from the input source – no energy is manufactured inside the converter and some inevitably gets used by ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...

Diodes Incorporated Improves Power Density with Integrated High-Voltage Regulator Transistors PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Diodes Incorporated (NAS: DIOD) , a leading global manufacturer and ...

A current-limiting regulator prevents excessive load current, but it may not prevent excessive regulator dissipation. Many integrated regulators do protect themselves from excessive dissipation and ...

For as versatile and inexpensive as switch-mode power supplies are at all kinds of different tasks, they’re not always the ideal choice for every DC-DC circuit. Although they can do almost any job in ...

Low dropout (LDO) regulators play a very important role in the power management of an integrated circuit. As a result, mindful designing and selection of LDO circuits become crucial. This article ...
