This article discusses the importance and application advantages of switching regulators in electronic system design, introduces different types of switching converters, and compares the differences ...

Standard three-legged voltage regulator chips like the LM317 can cope with an input voltage of up to about 30 V, a few high-voltage types can handle 60 V but if that is still not sufficient for your ...

Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) continue to replace linear-regulator types in a host of applications. As the need for more efficient electronics accelerates and as a result of their size, weight, ...

For some time now, many of EDN’s Design Ideas (DIs) have dealt with ground-referenced, single-power-supplied voltage regulators whose outputs can be configured to produce zero or near-zero volts [1][2 ...
