When connected as shown, the standard “three leg” will begin to conduct as INPUT current is brought from zero and Vout approaches the programmed setpoint voltage Vset, causing Vadj to approach -1.25V.

Whether squeezing the last millijoule from your battery or operating a cooler CPU board, the goal is to burn less power. For many loads the power dissipation varies as the square of the applied ...

The MAX8515A and MAX8515 debut as the industry's smallest sub-1V shunt references for optical networks and modules. They’re also claimed to simplify voltage feedback and over-voltage protection ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Did you know that your shunt regulator is in danger? Don’t worry—the fix is free (and free is good). A feedback circuit ...
