Linear voltage regulators are key components in any power-management system that requires a stable and ripple-free power supply. A subset of linear voltage regulators is a class of circuits known as ...

Although a monolithic low-dropoutregulator has superior dynamiccharacteristics, the discrete regulatorin this Design Idea is so simple that youcan adapt it to many purposes. Using acommon transistor, ...

The following tutorial nugget comes courtesy of Greg Waterfall of Texas Instruments, one of our experts. In the low-dropout (LDO) regulator, the pass element (Figure 1) can be a single PNP bipolar ...
