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 ...

One of the major parameters that affects the low dropout regulator (LDO) is its dc performance and accuracy, and specifying this performance is one of the first design requirements. Whether the load ...

What are typical applications for a low dropout (LDO) linear regulator? LDO linear regulators are usually employed in systems that require a low-noise power source instead of a switching regulator ...
