By Ivan Serrano EEWeb For most embedded designers, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are simple components that are used as visual indicators. They typically involve a minimal circuit, and controlling the LED is typically only a matter of toggling the ...

Lou Frenzel Electronic Design Often used for overcurrent protection, current-sense amplifiers are now finding homes in a wide array of applications, including automotive electronic fuses and three-phase motor control. If you're seeking a way to ...

Robert Hanrahan Electronic Design Zeners are commonly used as low-current sources for bias voltage functions, but the proper voltage reference can give the same result and with much-lower dissipation and no performance tradeoffs. There are times ...

By Aldrick S. Limjoco, Analog Devices Analog Dialogue Introduction Minimizing output ripple and transients from a switching regulator can be important, especially when powering noise-sensitive devices such as high-resolution ADCs, where the output ...

Question: How do you increase the efficiency of a power converter with high voltage input and low voltage output? Answer: There are different solutions for applications that require conversion from a high input voltage down to a very low output ...

This publication details circuitry and applications considerations for the LT1533 low noise switching regulator. Eleven DC/DC converter circuits are presented, some offering 100µV output noise in a 100MHz bandwidth. Tutorial sections detail ...

This application note describes the unique operating characteristics of the LT1005 and describes a number of useful applications which take advantage of the regulator's ability to control the output with a logic control signal.

This application note describes a number of enhancement circuit techniques used with existing 3-terminal regulators which extend current capability, limit power dissipation, provide high voltage output, operate from 110 VAC or 220 VAC without the ...

As part of the LEDification of my house, I’m designing some wall-lighting sconces. The plan is to place an array of LED strips on the walls, covered with translucent (or in some cases, opaque!) Plexiglas plates mounted a few centimetres away. ...

Applications such as printers, laser-based fiber optic systems, and charged-particle air filtration systems require hundreds or even thousands of volts at low power. Flyback converters and autotransformer boosts are reasonable topology choices, but ...
