Reduce voltage-reference output noise by half - 3-Feb-05 EDN-Design Ideas Reducing low-frequency(1/f] noise generated by an IC voltage reference can prove difficult. In theory, adding a lowpass filter to a reference's output reduces noise. In practice, a lowpass RC filter for suppression of noise frequencies below 10 Hz requires large values of series resistance and shunt capacitance__ Circuit Design by Alfredo H Saab and Steve Logan, Maxim Integrated Products Inc, Sunnyvale, CA
Reference stabilizes exponential current - 10/25/01 EDN-Design Ideas In an antilog converter, the difference between the base voltages of two transistors sets the ratio of their collector currents The use of matched transistors balances the first-order temperature coefficient but leaves a temperature-dependent gain term, q/kT. Classic antilog circuits use a thermistor in the drive circuitry to correct this temperature dependency__ Circuit Design by Tom Napier, North Wales, PA
Regulated 12V Supply - This circuit above uses a 13 volt zener diode, D2 which provides the voltage regulation. Aprroximately 0.7 Volts are dropped across the transistors b-e junction, leaving a higher current 12.3 Volt output supply. This circuit can supply loads of up to 500 mA. This circuit is also known as an amplified zener circuit __ Designed by Mick Devine

I need to buy a new one. Consume more. We should the dc power supply have a choice of AC voltage. Which it must […] __ Designed by Antonio Rodrigues
Regulator Can Source & Sink Current - 12/07/95 EDN-Design Ideas Although a positive supply regulator usually acts solely as a current source, some applications require both sourcing and sinking. For these applications, Linear Technology’s LT1118 family of low-dropout regulators can source and sink as much as 800 and 4__ Circuit Design by Bill Schweber Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA.

Regulator Generates as Many as Four Voltages - 08/03/95 EDN-Design Ideas The inexpensive switching regulator in Fig 1 provIdeas as many as four voltages using a single quad comparator. The circuit can implement two positive regulated supplies and two semiregulated negative supplies that use a charge-pump technique. Fig 1's circuit, which costs $4.48 in moderate volumes, shows three of the four possible output voltages, ±9V and 150V. You can add a 150V supply using the same charge-pump techniques as the 9V supply. Output current of the +9V supply is nominally 10 mA. __ Circuit Design by D Hayden, Hayden Electronics Design, San Diego, CA

Regulator IC forms convenient overvoltage Detector - 09/28/00 EDN-Design Ideas Figure 1 shows a simple, stand-alone overvoltage detector. The intent of the circuit is to monitor a voltage, VMONITOR, and set the output, VOUT, high when the monitored voltage exceeds a preset threshold. The minimum allowable threshold for this circuit is 1.25V. The operation of the circuit revolves around the TLV431 shunt regulator. This IC is based on the popular TL431 shunt regulator. The difference is that the TLV431's internal reference is 1.25V, as opposed to 2.5V for the TL431. When the voltage at the control input is less than 1.25V, the regulator's cathode current is essentially zero__ Circuit Design by Robert Bell
Regulator Makes Dual Tracking Reference - 11/07/96 EDN-Design Ideas You can use the venerable 723 voltage regulator in new and unusual ways.

Regulator Monitors its input voltage - 09/12/97 EDN-Design Ideas Two- and three-cell portable systems, such as medical sensors, often monitor their battery input to obtain an early warning of a loss of battery voltage. Typically, this warning is a digital signal that a comparator generates and then sends to the microcontroller. The circuit in Figure 1 presets one side of a dual linear regulator to generate 2.84V at 100 mA. The other side operates open loop, as a comparator, to generate the low-battery warning. Both sIdeas are capable of delivering 100- mA output current. Resistors R1 and R2 determine the low-battery threshold, according to__ Circuit Design by Larry Suppan and Luong Huynh, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA
