Switching regulator charges NiMH batteries -  12/21/00 EDN Design Ideas:  Many NiMH (nickel-metal-hydride) fast chargers use linear regulators, such as the LM317, in a current-source configuration with a charge-monitor IC .  This arrangement dissipates much heat and requires considerable heat sinking, ad Design by Jason Hansen and Jim Hill, On Semiconductor, Phoenix, AZ

Switching regulator drives robot Motor -  05/13/99 EDN Design Ideas:  The circuit in Figure 1 shows an example of how you can use an integrated switching regulator (iSR] to efficiently vary the speed of a permanent-magnet dc motor.  In this application, the rotating head of a robot senses the presence of an oncoming object (perhaps a human].  If the robot senses an object, it slows the rotationPDF contains many circuits, scroll to find this one.    Design by Donald Comiskey, Power Trends Inc, Warrenville, IL

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.  To solve the wasted-power problem, you can use a switch-mode regulator.  The circuit of Figure 1 uses IC 1, an LM2576 adjustable regulator Design by Stefan Strozecki, Institute of Telecommunications, bydgoszcz, Poland

Switching-regulator Design lowers noise to 100 µV -  12/04/97 EDN-Design ideas Expending unconscionable amounts of bypass capacitors, ferrite beads, shields, Mumetal, and aspirin to ameliorate noise-induced effects is no longer the only way to tackle switching-regulator noise.  Using a low-noise IC , you can now design switching converters with only 100 mV of noise.  Size, output-flexibility, and efficiency advantages have made switching regulators common in electronic apparatus.  The emphasis on these attributes has resulted in circuitry requiring minimal board area and with 95% efficiency.  Although these advantages are welcome, they necessitate compromising other parameters.    Design by Design by Jim Williams, Linear Technology Corp

Switching-regulator supply provides low-noise biasing for varactor diodes -  11/09/00  EDN Design Ideas:  Low-voltage systems often need a locally generated high voltage.  Even for an application as noise-sensitive as varactor-diode biasing, a carefully planned switching-regulator-based design and layout can provide the necessary bias voltage.   Design by Jim Williams and J Phillips and G Vaughn, im Williams, EDN's most revered contributor-At 63 years of age, Williams passed away in June 2011 after a stroke.

Switch-mode supply draws 43-mW standby power -  EDN Design Ideas:  06/10/1999   Switch-mode offline supplies offer better efficiency than linear supplies.  However, the efficiency of a switchmode power supply (SMPS) seriously degrades with light loads, and commutation losses provoke power dissipation well above 1W even with no load.    Design by Christophe Basso and François Lhermite, Motorola SPS, Toulouse, France

Synchronized Regulator Produces Coherent Noise -  03/17/94 EDN Design Ideas:  By using a gated-oscillator architecture instead of a clocked-PWM one, gated-oscillator-type switching regulators permit high efficiency over extended ranges of output current.  This architecture eliminates the housekeeping currents associated with the continuous operation of fixed-frequency designs.  Gated-oscillator regulators simply self-clock at whatever frequency is necessary to maintain the output voltage.  Typically, loop-oscillation frequency ranges from a few hertz to the kilohertz region, depending on the load.    Design by Jim Williams, Sean Gold, and Steve Pietkiewicz, Linear Technology, Milpitas, CA
