The following tutorial nugget comes courtesy of Greg Waterfall of Texas Instruments, one of our experts. In the low-dropout (LDO) regulator, the pass element (Figure 1) can be a single PNP bipolar ...

Low-dropout voltage regulators (LDOs) in CMOS technology have become a cornerstone of modern integrated circuit design owing to their ability to deliver a stable output voltage even when the ...

STMicroelectronics’ STLQ020 low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator relieves the familiar trade-offs between quiescent current, output power, dynamic response, and package size, to give designers extra ...

What are typical applications for a low dropout (LDO) linear regulator? LDO linear regulators are usually employed in systems that require a low-noise power source instead of a switching regulator ...
