A microcontroller requires dc operating power in the 2 to 5.5V range, an amount that a battery or a secondary power source can easily supply. However, in certain situations, a microcontroller-based ...
Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...
Power management of battery-powered electronic devices is becoming increasingly more important for the microelectronics industry. This white paper details the difference between low dropout (LDO) ...
Today in power electronics, the folks over at Texas Instruments have put together a video covering low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. For a hacker, power is pretty fundamental, so it behooves us ...
Making a dc voltage from an ac source means you will have to rectify the ac voltage to get a dc bus. One difference compared to a dc-dc converter is that you can use a linear power supply with an ac ...
Whether you’re aware of it or not, three-terminal voltage regulators automatically adjust power supply voltages in everything from audio consoles to distribution amplifiers to audio processing to STLs ...
Semiconductor memory, card readers, microprocessors, disk drives, piezoelectric devices, and digital systems create transient loads that voltage regulators must service. Ideally, regulator output ...
GridSense has worked with Baltimore Gas and Electric to implement volt/VAR control using feeder capacitor banks instead of load tap changers (LTCs) and voltage regulators (VRs). Utilities are using ...
In the last decade, volt/volt-ampere-reactive (VAR) optimization became one of the most desirable applications implemented on the distribution system. Primary objectives of volt/VAR control include ...
