Source measurement unit instruments (or SMU instruments) can make the job of characterizing linear voltage regulators—both conventional and low dropout (LDO) regulators—easier. Source measurement unit ...
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 ...
To improve efficiency in high-power applications, voltage regulators can be used in parallel to double output current capability—if a means of forcing current sharing is provided. One circuit approach ...
