Source measurement unit instruments (or SMU instruments) can make the job of characterizing linear voltage regulators—both conventional and low dropout (LDO) regulators—easier. Source measurement unit ...

This article presents linear regulators and the computation of its efficiency. It also describes the advantages and other properties of a linear regulator, as well as the low drop out (LDO) regulator, ...

Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...

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) ...

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 ...
