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 ...

Two basic IC topologies are employed in dc power sources. If the output is lower than the input voltage, the IC is said to be a step-down, or buck converter. If the output is higher than the input ...

Each of the three basic types of light sources — incandescent, fluorescent, and HID — has its own particular applications and advantages. The proper selection of a lamp type will ultimately depend on ...

It has been more than a decade since the paradigm of voltage-aware Booleans came about and the world of multi-voltage verification took off. We started with 3-5 island SoCs and now stare at 300+ ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) For all signal-chain devices to operate properly, each requires a stable-voltage power ...

Will this quiz on the principles of inspection, testing and maintenance of medium-voltage cable leave you snarled and tangled? Give it a go and find out. You will be shown the correct answer after ...

Analysis of this circuit is simplified by the fact that the output has only two states: V out low (Vol) or V out hi (Voh). In this circuit, Voh is equal to the positive supply voltage and Vol is ...
