Switching regulators have delivered such convenience and efficiency compared to their linear siblings, that it’s now becoming rare to see an old-style three-terminal regulator. Modern designs have ...

Previously, I compared space-grade isolated DC-DCs and switching POLs, which resulted in lots of interesting discussion between us. With so much emphasis on cost, I was recently asked by a customer to ...

A recent Design Idea, “Three discretes suffice to interface PWM to switching regulators,” demonstrated one way to use PWM to control the output of a typical switching voltage regulator. There were ...

[SM6VFZ] designed, built and tested a switched-mode DC-DC boost regulator using the core independent peripherals (CIP) of an ATtiny214 micro-controller as a proof of concept, and it looks pretty ...

Electronic systems often require multiple voltages to power the various internal circuits. Non-isolated regulators are a common and easy way to convert one voltage to another. Regulators typically ...

Aerospace and satellite power applications requiring greater power-system efficiency could opt for Intersil’s radiation-hardened, 12-V input point-of-load (PoL) synchronous buck switching regulator.

What is the function of a switching voltage regulator IC? A switching voltage regulator accepts a dc input voltage and converts it to a switched voltage that can extend into the MHz region. Then, it ...
