• If my system is specified to operate from –55° to 125°C, how much will my output voltage vary from the ideal? • My output voltage will be within ±0.1% of ideal if I use ±0.1% resistors, right?

Editor’s note Texas Instruments will be having a series of guest blogs for the APEC 2016 Power conference. Our first guest blogger is Terry Allinder from Texas Instruments. A controller is capable of ...

In the design of power supplies, the desired output voltages can be set manually. This is accomplished in most integrated power supply circuits, as well as switching and linear regulator ICs, with the ...

Applications sometimes require the generation of a voltage that is below the reference rail. Many design engineers would just use a second regulator to generate this voltage. However, a simple change ...

A potential divider, also known as a voltage divider, is a simple yet essential circuit used to reduce voltage to a desired level. It consists of two resistors connected in series close seriesA way of ...

The output voltage of a voltage reference device can be adjusted using a digitally controlled potentiometer (DCP) without significantly changing the device’s temperature coefficient (TC), which ...

There are a number of reasons why an engineer would want to “split” a voltage rail in their design. Sometimes parts of the circuit, like a sensor or an IC, require a bipolar supply. Other reasons are ...

a voltage divider reduces the voltage in a circuit the resistance value of the resistors will set the output voltage potential dividers can be two resistors connected in series across a circuit it is ...

In the last installment of Circuit VR, we walked around a simplified buck converter. The main simplification was using a constant PWM signal. The result is that the output voltage is a fixed fraction ...
