There are only a limited number of switching regulators designed to generate negative output voltages. In many cases, it’s thus necessary to use a switching regulator that was actually designed for a ...

Power-supply designers can choose from a plethora of available positive buck regulators that can also serve as negative boost dc/dc converters. Some buck regulators have a negative-feedback reference ...

Manufacturers sell different types of switching regulators. The location of the storage elements in reference to the switching elements and their quantities generally determines the type of switching ...

Negative voltage sources are widely used in various applications such as computing systems, liquid-crystal display (LCD) source drivers and audio amplifiers Zach Zhang, Staff Applications Engineer, ...

Electronic systems often require multiple voltages to power the various internal circuits. Non-isolated regulators are a common and easy way to convert one voltage to another. Regulators typically ...

Adding to its LDO+ family, Linear Technology has introduced a 600mA low dropout negative linear regulator featuring low noise, rail to rail operation, precision programmable current limit and a ...

Mathieu Renaud, Senior Power Management Designer, Intégration Dolphin Inc. Yves Gagnon, Executive Director, Intégration Dolphin Inc. Inductor-based Switching Regulators (SR) have historically ...

Restoring old gear often means replacing unavailable parts with modern equivalents. [Alex Eisenhut] needed to replace some old TO-3 voltage regulators and decided to make an authentic-looking ...

Some time ago, while designing the PCB for the Sony Vaio replacement motherboard, I went on a quest to find a perfect 5 V boost regulator. Requirements are simple – output 5 V at about 2A , with input ...

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 ...
