This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A common project requirement is to have an adjustable voltage regulator programmed to deliver a specific dc output.

I'm frequently asked why I refer to the effective inductance of a voltage reference, voltage regulator, or op-amp in my articles. Others question “Is there really an inductor in there?”, “Where does ...

How to read Bode plots to assess dynamic control behavior of a power-supply design. Observing Bode plots from an example voltage regulator to observe control-loop speed and stability. This article ...

It would be a masterpiece of understatement to suggest that control loop compensation holds much significance in power converter design. This is true in part because of increasing demand for ...

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 ...
