Switching regulator forms constant-current source- 05/30/02 EDN Design Ideas: Many applications require current sources rather than voltage sources. When you need a high-current source, using a linear regulator is inadvisable, because of the high power dissipation in the series resistor.

Two Cores Marry, Make Swinging Choke- 05/11/95 EDN Design Ideas: Designing an output choke for a switch-mode power supply that must operate over large load variations can be problematic. If you design the inductor for the maximum load the power converter will see, the inductance will be below the critical inductance required at light load. This inadequate inductance will cause the voltage on the output capacitor to peak up, resulting in increased ripple on the output Design by Vincent Spataro, GEC Marconi Electronic Systems Corp, Wayne, NJ
Two watt switching power supply- In this small switching power supply, a Schmitt trigger oscillator is used to drive a switching transistor that supplies current to a small inductor. Energy is stored in the inductor while the transistor is on, and released into the load circuit when the transistor switches off. The output voltage is dependent on the load resistance and is limited by a zener diode that stops the oscillator when the voltage reaches about 14 volts. Higher or lower voltages can be obtained by adjusting the voltage divider that feeds the zener diode. The efficiency is about 80% using a high Q inductor. __ Designed by Bill Bowden
