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 ...

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.

The LT8309 from Linear Technology Corporation is a flyback secondary-side synchronous rectifier driver that replaces the output diode with a MOSFET, allowing up to 10 A output current without the use ...

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

Decreased system reliability due to overloaded power supplies is a common engineering challenge. In this Q&A-style article submitted by Allied Electronic & Automation, David Norton, technical ...

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 ...
