MOSFET shunt regulator substitutes for series regulator - 25-Nov-04 EDN Design Ideas: You would normally use a series linear regulator or a DC/DC converter to obtain 3V dc from a higher supply. However, when breadboarding a concept, you may be able to use a shunt regulator, especially if a series regulator of the correct voltage is unavailable. The MOSFET in Figure 1 can replace a zener diode in a shunt regulator and provide lower output impedance than a zener diode Design by Stuart R Michaels, SRM Consulting

Optimize output-voltage accuracy of adjustable low-dropout regulator - EDN-Design ideas--09/01/98 Optimize output-voltage accuracy of adjustable low-dropout regulators - An adjustable LDO is a good choice when you need a nonstandard voltage, but getting the highest accuracy from one requires a few circuit tricks. --Low-dropout regulators (LDOs) have become common in portable electronic equipment. Their small size, high noise rejection, and low cost make them an attractive solution to a range of system problems—from active power-supply decoupling to local voltage regulation and control. Although LDO suppliers offer several fixed output-voltage settings, some applications require settings that you can't get in an off-the-shelf produ Design by Paul Paglia, Telcom Semiconductor

Paralleled Voltage Regulators with Balanced Load Sharing - Paralleling voltage regulators to provide mode load current is a common technique. Forcing the amplifiers to share the load current equally is called ballasting. Using a precision low offset voltage amplifier to sense the output current from each regulator requires just milli-ohms of resistance, typically just a pcb circuit trace. Each amplifier then adjusts the output voltage of each regulator to force the output currents to be equal. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 16th 2010

PLL-based converter controls light source - EDN Design Ideas: July 2, 1998 [ NOTE: FILE
has multiple design, scroll for this one.] Using the circuit in Figure 1, you can digitally control the light intensity of a lamp. The control loop is based on a PLL, in which the VCO comprises a light-to-frequency converter (TSL220) coupled to a light source that derives its drive from a switching regulator (L4970A). The output of the phase/frequency comparator (4046) serves as the control voltage for the switching regulator. The control voltage is proportional to the frequency error between the reference frequency (fREF) and the signal frequency (fiN) coming from the light-to-frequency converter.

Power Supplies - There are a number of ways to obtain the low voltages required to run small projects from the wall power outlet. The simplest way is to buy a factory-built molded supply which is designed to plug directly into the wall outlet. Some such supplies have an internal voltage regulator and need no additional parts, others provide an unregulated DC voltage and many are simply AC transformers in a box. The regulated types offer less power output for a given size with currents limited to a couple of hundred milliamps but the AC transformer types can provide several amps __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.
Power Supply Converted from a PC - Our energy-hungry and environmentally aware society has been slow to make good use of the sun's "free" power. But now it's finally taking off. Using the sun's heat directly, for cooking and other applications, is already a common and popular technology in countries that have good weather. Hot-water panels are nowadays used in many parts of the world, in combination with a gas or electric powered water heater to help out when the weather doesn't help. But at the same time, electric solar panels are still expensive, justifying their use only as a novelty, or in locations where little power is needed, and bringing in commercial power would be even more expensive. __ Designed by Manfred Mornhinweg
