This article will provide a brief introduction on the essentials of output voltage limitations. It will give you the key points in overcoming the foremost roadblocks to successful and reliable power ...

Applications sometimes require the generation of a voltage that is below the reference rail. Many design engineers would just use a second regulator to generate this voltage. However, a simple change ...

Howdy guys - I have an XPA-2 amp hooked up to a pair of B&W683's and am curious how many watts (in real time) I am using. I am not worried about over driving the speakers or worried that the amp is ...

Voltage references are available with fixed and adjustable reference voltage outputs. Adjustable output is set by a resistor divider connected to a reference pin. These references are either shunt ...

Even if you don’t have a Rohde Schwarz oscilloscope, you can still enjoy their recent video about using an oscilloscope to measure power supply efficiency. Of course, you don’t have to have a scope to ...

Empower Semiconductor, Inc. has introduced its first series of quad-output step-down converters to its family of integrated voltage regulators (IVRs) that combine high current density and efficiency, ...

Be prepared for unexpected power failures and off-the-grid camping trips.

Maybe I'm describing a unicorn device here but I have a bunch of devices that run off DC-in of various voltages, and take a barrel jack connector for power. They all have their own wall warts but I've ...
