The circuits were designed using a single IC L200 to create two different regulators where one circuit functions as high current regulator using NPN pass transistors while the other circuit functions ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...

Linear voltage regulators are some of the most cost effective building blocks of power supplies. Their simple topologies and small footprint make them an excellent choice for budget designs and ...

“Chapter 5; Horowitz and Hill”. University students of all subjects will each have their standard texts of which everyone will own a copy. It will be so familiar to them as to be referred to by its ...

The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...
