The power supply for new products is often taken for granted. However, judging from recent experience, it’s clear that the power supply for new industrial equipment or Internet of Things (IoT) ...

A low-dropout (LDO) regulator is a simple, inexpensive way to generate a regulated output voltage from a higher-voltage input. It’s inherently low-noise because it has no switching transients, and it ...

Linear regulators are integrated circuits that step a voltage down from a higher voltage to a lower voltage without the need of an inductor. The low dropout (LDO) linear regulator is a special type of ...

Low dropout (LDO) regulators play a very important role in the power management of an integrated circuit. As a result, mindful designing and selection of LDO circuits become crucial. This article ...

Although the LDO regulator is often one of the least costly components in any given system, it is often one of the most valuable components from a cost/benefit basis. In addition to output voltage ...

LDOs can offer the low noise and PSRR performance to be used in wide voltage range applications such as in test and measurement systems, write Amit Patel and Steve Knoth Linear Regulators are ...

Power management of battery-powered electronic devices is becoming increasingly more important for the present and future microelectronics industry. This application note details the difference ...

LDOs are so common inside portable devices, state of the art power management integrated circuits (PMICs) for smartphones and other portable devices include over a dozen LDOs. To know which LDO you ...
