Understanding the capabilities and differences of linear and pulse-width modulated (PWM) AC power sources is especially helpful when determining which models meet your requirements. And, the selection ...

Editor's note: Designers at all levels of power management design will find this application article both educational for those not very familiar with these basic concepts as well as an excellent ...

Today in power electronics, the folks over at Texas Instruments have put together a video covering low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. For a hacker, power is pretty fundamental, so it behooves us ...

Linear Technology has introduced a chip for solar-powered battery charging, the LT3652. Solar panels are notoriously non-linear, and maximum power extraction under all conditions requires a fairly ...

Editor’s note: In Part one, we looked at an intro and the basics of linear regulator and switching power supply operation. This final part two will look at design considerations of the switching power ...
