Linear regulators are commonly employed to post-regulate switching regulator outputs. Benefits include improved stability, accuracy, transient response and lowered output impedance.
This step-by-step guide will use an example instrumentation application, a semiconductor wafer process control monitor with a high speed analog input, to demonstrate how to quickly and easily create a
In part one of this article, we discussed the circuit and electrical performance of a compact and low pro?le 48A, 1.5V DC/DC regulator solution for a four-FPGA design.
In a recent discussion with a system designer, the re- quirement for his power supply was to regulate 1.5V and deliver up to 40A of current to a load that consisted of four FPGAs.
