Commonly used 3-pin linear voltage regulators, for example the LM317, cannot handle input voltages in excess of about 30V. The LR8A from Supertex Inc is a new, adjustable three pin regulator that can ...

The very basics of operational amplifiers. Learn comparator, inverting, and non-inverting op-amp configurations. An operational amplifier, or op amp, is a dc-coupled high-gain electronic voltage ...

All buck converters need capacitors on the input. Actually, in a perfect world, if the supply had zero output impedance and infinite current capacity and the tracks had zero resistance or inductance, ...
