Precision Power Regulator with Low Temperature Coefficient

Making a precision voltage source is easy, but not so easy if the voltage should be consistent over wide range of ambient temperature. Such requirement might be needed in high precision measurement system, for providing reference voltage in analog to digital conversion for example. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: The LM236, LM336 voltage references are easier to use than […]

Adjustable Shunt Regulator

This shunt regulator acts like a Zener diode, but we can adjust the voltage (via a potentiometer). Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: When the maximum load current is known, then we can choose Rs such as that Rload (at max current) and Rs form a voltage divider that gives a voltage level at slightly higher than the […]

Adjustable 1.5A Step Down 1.5 MHz Switching Regulator

Usually, when an high heating of the application environment is occurred due to the power dissipation, we use high current linear solution to solve that problem. But, we can solve that problem using Adjustable 1.5A Step Down 1.5 MHz Switching Regulator circuit. This circuit use ST1S03 step down DC-DC converter. The ST1S03 can also used for powering low-voltage digital core […]

Auto Retry for MAX1637 Step-Down Controller

On telecom applications, the MAX1637 is a popular device. This device offer a lot of advantages such as PWM operation, small size, high MOSFET-drive capability, wide VIN and VOUT ranges, and excellent protection against over- and under-voltage faults. An auto-retry controller that attempts to restart the system is often needed in telecom application. Here’s the circuit diagram: Undervoltage is related […]

Nonvolatile STANDBY/ON Switch

STANDBY/ON switch below is appropriate for applications (industrial and telecom, for example) in which the circuitry must remember its state (STANDBY or ON) after a power failure that occurs when there is no operator. Because the state can be lost if leakage current drains the battery, we can not just rely on an alternative approach based on battery (or supercapacitor) […]
