Your opamp circuit has one limitiation, the current required by the circuit load exceedes the max output current of your opamp by 50%. How would you modify your circuit so that it could provide enough ...

Industrial manufacturers must often attempt to forecast equipment requirements when installing a new system or building a new factory. Projecting communication ...

Linear regulators use an internal transistor to control the output voltage. That transistor needs some headroom—you can’t get 5-V output with a 5.01-V input. That headroom is also called dropout.

Fault protection is a critical function of all power supply controllers. Nearly all applications require some kind of over-load protection. For peak current-mode controllers this is easily ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...

Power supply manufacturers sometimes hear from customers with unfortunate dilemmas, such as, “I need to operate the power supply outside its rated voltage range.” Or, “What happens if I exceed my ...
