In this part, we go to greater depths to look at TL431 dynamics. Adjust your air regulator for the deeper dive. What is seen in the data sheet plots of gain and output resistance for some ...

This video explains how capacitors work and why they are essential in modern electronics. Capacitors store and release ...

Artificial intelligence is hungry. From training massive language models to powering real-time inference in the cloud, the computational demands of AI are skyrocketing. This insatiable appetite has ...

A research team, led by Professor Heein Yoon in the Department of Electrical Engineering at UNIST has unveiled an ultra-small ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...

While AI chips in the data center are becoming progressively more power-hungry, they’re not alone. The power demands of CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, SoCs, and everything in between also continue to rise. In ...

QUESTION: There are so many different voltage regulators on the market these days. How do I pick one that will be good for my circuit? ANSWER: Wow, this is a tough question, but also a good one. I’ll ...

The three-terminal TL431 voltage regulator is commonly found in switching power converters and instrumentation as a voltage reference. It is seemingly simple, yet has subtleties, including missing ...
