Linear voltage regulators are key components in any power-management system that requires a stable and ripple-free power supply. A subset of linear voltage regulators is a class of circuits known as ...

A low-dropout (LDO) regulator is a simple, inexpensive way to generate a regulated output voltage from a higher-voltage input. It’s inherently low-noise because it has no switching transients, and it ...

Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...

The following tutorial nugget comes courtesy of Greg Waterfall of Texas Instruments, one of our experts. In the low-dropout (LDO) regulator, the pass element (Figure 1) can be a single PNP bipolar ...

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 ...

Although the LDO regulator is often one of the least costly components in any given system, it is often one of the most valuable components from a cost/benefit basis. In addition to output voltage ...
