High accuracy voltage regulator Good morning everybody, I want to make a accurate voltage regulator based on the Basic Stamp.Total range 0-10 V and a resolution of eg 5 mV. So this means 2000 steps.Maximum current around 250 mA. I tried to do somethi…

The classic LM317 adjustable-output linear voltage regulator offers a relatively high, if package-dependent, current-handling capability. In addition, the LM317 features current limiting and thermal-overload protection. With the addition of a few com…

A variable resistor that integrates a programmable, temperature-indexed look-up table can compensate for the temperature drift of a voltage regulator. In this case, the look-up table can change the resistance every 2°C over a range of –40 to +102°C,…

This Design Idea stems from the limited availability of IC voltage regulators that can meet key USB-power specs, coupled with the need for turn-on sequencing and rise-time control at each output. As always, for PC-related designs, minimum cost is a p…

The circuit in Figure 1 delivers programming voltages to an EEPROM under the control of an external DAC (not shown). You can replace the DAC with a potentiometer to create a general-purpose power supply operating from 12V and able to deliver a variab…

LDO Regulator High accuracy voltage regulator Vout = 2.5V * (1 + ( 5.6 / 6.8 ) ) = 4.55V Recently the author had to adapt  a standard circuit configuration  (which often uses an npn bipolar) so as to operate as a low-dropout (LDO) regulator. The circ…

LDO current regulator for power LED Challenge You've got a power LED? Great! Build a flash light! What does the spec say? "Voltage: 3.6 .. 3.8 V, power 3 W." Okay. This means that it draws some 800 mA. Three mignon cells give 4.5 V for at least…

http://www.powerguru.org/changing-the-output-voltage-of-a-switching-regulator-on-the-fly/ There are many different ways to change the output voltage Applications that require the output voltage of a power supply to change dynamically come from a wide…

Minimizing the overall power conservation in a symmetric multiprocessor system disposed in a system-on-chip (SoC) depends on using voltage islands operated at different voltages such that similar circuits will perform at significantly different level…
