Portable CD Player Adapter for Car - Whenever I'm in the car listening to my favourite CD, it always happens-my batteries go dead. To solve that problem, I built this extremely simple regulator circuit. It steps down the 12V from the lighter socket to 9V which is used by the CD player __ Designed by Aaron Cake
Positive Regulator Makes Dual Negative-Output Converter - 06/26/03 EDN-Design Ideas Some systems, such as optical networks, requirethan one negative voltage. A common procedure is to boost the main negative supply of -5V to -10V and then reduce it with a linear regulator to -9V. The -5V itself comes from a positiv__ Circuit Design by Keith Szolusha, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA
Positive regulator makes negative DC/DC converter - 12/26/02 EDN-Design Ideas Power-supply designers can choose from a plethora of available positive buck regulators that can also serve as negative boost DC/DC converters. Some buck regulators have a negative-feedback reference voltage expressly for this purpose, but ICs that have positive-reference feedback voltages far outnumber these negative-feedback regulators__ Circuit Design by Keith Szolusha, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA
Postregulation technique efficiently supplies multiple output voltages - 01/15/98 EDN-Design Ideas Various methods for regulating multiple-output power supplies exist. An emerging technique--secondary-side postregulation, or SSPR--provIdeas advantages for high-frequency, high-power-density DC/DC converters. Many electronic devices require two or more__ Circuit Design by Gedaly Levin, Cherry Semiconductor Corp
Power Supply (psu 1) - One of the most useful circuits for the home constructor is the Power Supply Unit. A transformer with tapped secondaries can give a range of output voltages for testing and operating home-made equipment. __ Designed by Harry Lythall-SM0VPO
Power Supply (PSU 3) - I have done some work with DC PSUs over the past few months but some of the designs were either complex or "basic performers". I therefore decided that it was about right to produce a bench PSU that was simple enough to be made into another kit and have a reasonable performance too. __ Designed by Harry Lythall-SM0VPO
Power Supply Converted from a PC link - This ATX PS board has leads for +5 (RED) , -5 (WHITE) , +12 (YELLOW) , -12 (BLUE) volts, Ground (BLACK) and switch (GREEN). Dell power supplies manufactured between 1996 and 2000 do not follow the industry standard pinout and color codes. The fan has also been unplugged for better viewing. Since this PS was converted for use in the logic and robotics labs, the selected voltages __ Designed by Andy Batts
Power Supply Fits Into Small Spaces - 11/13/03 EDN-Design Ideas The demand for negative-voltage power supplies is increasing with the popularity of applications for portable devices. It can be expensive and relatively complicated to generate a negative supply from a positive input source, especially when the design requires both positive and negative outputs__ Circuit Design by Raymond Zheng, Linear Technology, Milpitas, CA
Power Supply Modules for the P54C-VR Pentiumr Microprocessor - AN63 This App Note describes the design of both linear and switching regulators which provide power for 90MHz Pentium (r) processors. The circuits are intended to comply with Intel's modular power supply specification and provide sufficient power for cache RAM and chip sets in addition to the CPU___ Linear Technology/Analog Devices
Power-Supply Failure Alarm - Most of the power-supply failure indicator circuits need a separate power-supply for themselves. But the alarm circuit presented here needs no additional supply source. __ Designed by M.K. CHANDRA MOULEESWARN
Power-Supply Tracks Control Input - 12/21/95 EDN-Design Ideas The power-supply circuit in Figure 1 tracks a control input whenever the input is between 5 and 5.7V, maintains a minimum output voltage of 5V whenever the control input is less than or equal to 5V, maintains a maximum output voltage of 5.7V whenever the control input is greater than or equal to 5.7V, and implements foldback current limiting such that IKNEE is approximately equal to 700 mA and ISC is approximately 0 mA__ Circuit Design by Tony Zizzo, Burr-Brown Corp Tucson, AZ

Precision reference bans precision resistors - 06/10/99 EDN-Design Ideas Combining a switched-capacitor charge pump with a precision reference yields an inverted reference from a positive power supply__ Circuit Design by Budge Ing, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA
Proportional thermoregulator synchronizes to line - 04/13/00 EDN-Design Ideas The circuit in Figure 1 is a proportional thermoregulator in which the switching of the TRIAC occurs when the mains voltage crosses the zero level. As a result, the circuit generates no RFI. The circuit can easily achieve linear regulation and perfect isolation between the control and power sections. Whenever the mains voltage crosses zero, a 1-msec positive pulse appears at the collector of Q 1 . __ Circuit Design by Jordan Dimitrov
Protection Feature Enhances Boost Converter - 10/27/94 EDN-Design Ideas A boost-topology switching regulator is the simplest solution for converting a twoto three-cell input to a 5V output. Unfortunately, boost regulators have several inherent disadvantages, including a lack of short-circuit protection and shutdown capability. In some battery-operated__ Circuit Design by Dimitry Goder, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA
Provide ADSL Frequency Reference - 05/25/00 EDN-Design Ideas The discrete-multitone (DMT) frequencies that asymmetrical-digital-subscriber lines (ADSL) use are integral multiples of a common frequency, and the symbol period is the inverse of this frequency. Integration over the symbol period allows the sine and cosine orthogonal waveform products to vanish for all multiples of the common frequency except for those having the same frequency. __ Circuit Design by Bert Erickson, Fayetteville, NY

Provide Reference for Multiple ADCS - 24-Jan-02 EDN-Design Ideas The achievable accuracy for systems with multiple ADCs depends directly on the reference voltages applied to the ADCs. Medical-ultrasound-imaging systems, for example, commonly include a large number of ADCs in the system's beam-former electronics, with the ADCs usually organized in groups of 16, 24, 32, and so on__ Circuit Design by Ron Gatzke and Tanja Hofner, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA
