(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) The linear voltage regulator was introduced in Part 11 of this series (link below).

Milpitas, CA. Linear Technology Corp. has introduced the LTC7813, a dual output (boost + buck), low quiescent current synchronous DC/DC controller. When cascaded, its independent step-up (boost) and ...

Noise from the power supply, linear regulators, and voltage references is a major contributor to the limitations of system performance, especially in instrumentation and communications products. In ...

The circuit shown in Figure 1 illustrates one of the most basic versions of the buck-boost voltage regulator. An electrical switch is connected in series with the line input to regulate the circuit.

Remember the fully integrated voltage regulator (FIVR) introduced with Haswell CPUs? Turns out that news of Intel axing the technology was not completely true. Intel's previous FIVR was implemented to ...
