The humble LM317 adjustable voltage regulator is everywhere ... including driving LEDs and laser diodes. While this circuit may not be as efficient as an LED driver module or a switching solution ...
Integrated circuit (IC) linear voltage regulators use an active pass element to reduce the input voltage to the regulated output voltage. Some devices use bipolar transistors and others use ...
A subset of linear voltage regulators is a class of circuits known as low dropout (LDO) regulators. This paper explains the fundamentals of LDOs and introduces Vidatronic’s LDO technology which solves ...
