There are times when you need to bias a low-current load and simply didn’t want to add another voltage regulator, or where you need a reasonable level of voltage accuracy, so a simple voltage divider ...

Allegro MicroSystems announced two new adjustable linear current regulators for driving automotive LED arrays. Allegro's AEC-Q100 qualified A6274 and A6284 devices include many new features designed ...

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

Several Design Ideas (DIs) have employed the subject ICs to implement programmable current sources in an innovative manner [Editor’s note: DIs referenced in “Related Content” below]. Figure 1 shows ...

For the longest time, Zener diode regulators have been one of those circuits that have been widely shared and highly misunderstood. First timers have tried to use it to power up their experiments and ...
