In the last few blogs I have been spending a fair amount of time looking at various performance measurements for LDOs (see Measuring LDO Noise Spectral Density for a Novice, Measuring LDO Power Supply ...

Low dropout voltage regulators (LDOs) are common in many applications. State of the art Power-Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) for smartphones and other portable devices include over a dozen ...

A common problem in power distribution systems is loss of regulation due to the cable/wire voltage drop between the regulator and the load. Any increase in wire resistance, cable length or load ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Processor-based systems place strenuous voltage regulation requirements on their power supply. In many instances, this ...

Though not difficult, driving a load from a voltage reference IC requires some attention. After determining the supply voltage and output voltage, various other design parameters need to be considered ...
