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 ...

Editor’s note: This article is based upon a 2006 EDN article by Jim Williams; see Reference 1. There are six different types of FETs, but of the two major categories of FETs, enhancement mode devices ...

Helix Semiconductors’ HS200 DC-DC MuxCapacitor Power IC is a new type of voltage divider that can play an integral role in a distributed power architecture (DPA) system. It provides a high-efficiency ...

Digital potentiometers, such as Analog Devices’ AD5160, make excellent digitally controlled voltage dividers in applications in which 8-bit resolution is acceptable. This Design Idea shows how to use ...

Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being ...

Dialog Semiconductor has announced a 10A switched-capacitor voltage divide-by-two, that operates at up to 98% efficiency, hitting or exceeding 95% at 10A. Called DA9313, it can deliver over 50W from ...

NAMM 2025: AmpRx has unveiled Brownie, an voltage optimising power supply that’s designed to give your tube amp exactly what ...

KRYTAR’s latest power divider offers high performance over the broadband frequency range of 7.125 to 15.35 GHz in a compact, ...

The resistive voltage divider—a basic circuit taught in every introductory electronics course—may cause some problems during its implementation. If you've ever stood in front of a resistor kit while ...
