I'm frequently asked why I refer to the effective inductance of a voltage reference, voltage regulator, or op-amp in my articles. Others question “Is there really an inductor in there?”, “Where does ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The goal of this project was to design and build an efficient power supply system whose output voltage (V OUT) could be accurately set to a digitally ...

You can generate a tiny dc supply voltage of a just a few hundred millivolts using an additional positive voltage connected to the feedback resistor of a dc-dc converter. The need for such a ...
