This article was prompted by a friend of mine asking for help on a board with an ESP32 heart. The board outputs 2.1 V instead of 3.3 V, and it doesn’t seem like incorrectly calculated feedback ...
As system voltages decrease and currents increase, engineers are moving away from the traditional three-terminal regulator to a more efficient power conversion technique; namely, a high-frequency ...
One problem with writing an Application Note on PCB layout is that the people who read it are usually not the ones who are going to use it. Even if the designer has struggled through electromagnetic ...
Achieving an optimized board layout by successfully implementing the golden rule regarding traces. Looking at typical buck and boost regulator circuits. 1. Shown is the board of an LT8640S switching ...
Some time ago, while designing the PCB for the Sony Vaio replacement motherboard, I went on a quest to find a perfect 5 V boost regulator. Requirements are simple – output 5 V at about 2A , with input ...
A switching regulator can be constructed either monolithically or via a controller. In a monolithic switching regulator, the respective power switches, usually MOSFETs, are integrated within a single ...
Electronic systems often require multiple voltages to power the various internal circuits. Non-isolated regulators are a common and easy way to convert one voltage to another. Regulators typically ...
The STR-Y6700 Series of off-line, quasiresonant switching regulators eliminates the need for dedicated power supplies to standby circuits. The STR-Y6700 Series of off-line, quasiresonant switching ...
