I need a circuit to limit the voltage across some dissipation limited devices. It must: limit the voltage to a maximum of 1.5 V, have symmetrical limiting, be capable of accepting a current of 2 A, ...

Switching regulators have delivered such convenience and efficiency compared to their linear siblings, that it’s now becoming rare to see an old-style three-terminal regulator. Modern designs have ...

Nearly every new design tries to add functionality while using less power. Recent products from Infineon Technologies, National Semiconductor, Ricoh Europe BV, and Dialog Semiconductor all seek to ...

Previously on “Yet More…” we looked at the impedance of a typical regulator and decoupling capacitor combination, and showed what happened when you 'shock' it with some dynamic current consumption.
