[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 ...

When considering how best to lay out a switching-regulator board, it's good to recall its purpose, which is to supply a steady voltage of a specific magnitude. Experienced layout designers achieve ...

A comprehensive understanding of switching regulator noise is important when designing a low noise switching regulator, says Leo Liu. Generally, traditional switching regulators are considered noisy ...

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 ...

Power consumption is among the most importantsystem-design parameters for designers choosinghigh-speed data converters. Power dissipationis critical whether in portable designsrequiring longer battery ...

National Semiconductor Corp. has introduced two step-down switching regulators for use in automotive power adapters as well as handheld devices. The PowerWise LM34917A and LM34919 are said to include ...

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 ...

SMT switching regulator The 1-A V78XX- 1000-SMT is a high-performance alternative to linear regulators with efficiencies up to 92% SMT switching regulator The 1-A V78XX- 1000-SMT is a high-performance ...

These are partly line-bound at the input side and output side of the voltage converter, but partially these are also radiated. Those interferences are mainly caused by the rapid switching edges. They ...

This article addresses some of the fundamentals of laying out a switching-regulator board. Although it focuses on a step-up switching-regulator, the concepts it covers are also useful when working ...
