[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using ... results in a roughly 8V breakdown voltage. Essentially, this transistor is being ...

In this installment of Circuit VR, we’ll look at a simple buck converter — that is a switching regulator that takes a higher voltage and produces a lower voltage. The first one won’t ...

Whether its buck, boost, or buck/boost, internal or external switch, milliamps or tens of amps, a literal cornucopia of programmable output switching regulator ... particularly simple. The relation ...

How integrated voltage regulators can improve the PDN and simplify the PCB design. How IVRs improve power delivery to processors and other high-speed digital ... by a circuit of parasitic ...
