The ability to operate at up to 25A is made possible by a new, thermally enhanced 5 x 6 mm PQFN (Power Quad Flat No-Lead) package using a copper clip, as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. Fabrication of the ...

Why the power-delivery network is critical in modern power electronics. How integrated voltage regulators can improve the PDN and simplify the PCB design. How IVRs improve power delivery to processors ...

Traditionally, RF and high-frequency designs were concerned with parasitics. Today, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and component parasitic elements are becoming an integral part of system designs, even ...

We’ve often heard you should do everything twice. The first time is to learn what you need to do, and the second time is to do it right. We bet [Ian Carey] would agree after taking his old linear ...

Some time ago, while designing the PCB for the Sony Vaio replacement motherboard, I went on a quest to find a perfect 5 V boost regulator. Requirements are simple – output 5 V at about 2A , with input ...

There are many circuits for low voltage regulators. For higher voltages, such as supplies for valve circuits, the situation is different. That’s why we decided to design this simple regulator that can ...

Integrated circuits require a variety of voltages and a wide range of currents, typically supplied by voltage regulators. But increasing power density is resulting in higher power delivery losses.
