Obtain higher voltage from a buck regulator -  29-May-03 Issue of EDN  Several semiconductor vendors'current-mode buck controllers have input-voltage ranges of 30 to 36V but have output-voltage ranges from the reference voltage to approximately 6V.... [Design Idea by Ajmal Godil, Micrel Semiconductor, San Diego, CA]
Positive regulator makes dual negative output converter -  26-Jun-03 Issue of EDN  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 positive supply, typically 5 or 12V... [Design Idea by Keith Szolusha, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA]
Positive regulator makes negative dc/dc converter -  26-Dec-02 Issue of EDN  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... [Design Idea by Keith Szolusha, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA]
Potentiometer Programs & Stabilizes Voltage Reference -  05/30/02 EDN-Design Ideas....The potentiometer portion of a mixed-signal, digitally programmable potentiometer adds variability to an analog circuit, and its digital controls provide programmability. You can use a digital potentiometer in two ways in an analog circuit. You can use it as a two-terminal variable resistance, or rheostat, or as a three-terminal resistive divider....

Power over Ethernet: Sync Flyback Reference Design -  This reference design presents an alternative to the typical boost power regulator. A buck converter IC is used to generate a higher voltage needed by the white light LED power from a Ni-Cd battery.  This circuit operates by turning the high switch on, connecting the battery voltage across the inductor....(added 3/05)
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.... [Design Idea by Budge Ing, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]
Precision Reference uses Only Ten Microamperes -  National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 2/06)
Precision voltage reference delivers 80 mA -  1-Dec-06 Issue of EDN  Robust, 4.096V reference source packs a punch.... [Design Idea by James Horste and Gary Staiman, Maxim Integrated Products Inc, Sunnyvale, CA; Edited by Brad Thompson and Fran Granville]
RD68HC908LBC : Li-ION Battery Charger Reference Design -  This reference design describes a Li-ion battery charger for one 3.6V Li-ion battery cell by using the low cost 8-pin MC68HC908QT2 MCU.  This reference demo provides reader a reference on how to implement constant current, constant voltage charging method for Li-ion battery and how to in-circuit-programming M68HC908QT/QY MCU in system  (app note added 3/05)
Rearranged reference helps ADC measure its own supply voltage -  28-Apr-05 Issue of EDN  Clever topology allows self-measurement of power supply rail.... [Design Idea by Björn Starmark and Orville Buenaventura, Maxim Integrated Products Inc, Sunnyvale, CA, and Sören Käck, Audioväxlar, Sweden; Edited by Brad Thompson]
Reduce voltage reference output noise by half -  3-Feb-05 Issue of EDN  Reducing low-frequency (1/f] noise generated by an IC voltage reference can prove difficult. In theory, adding a lowpass filter to a reference's output reduces noise. In practice, a lowpass RC filter for suppression of noise frequencies below 10 Hz requires large values of series resistance and shunt capacitance.... [Design Idea by Alfredo H Saab and Steve Logan, Maxim Integrated Products Inc, Sunnyvale, CA]
Reference Design for the TAS5110DAD Digital Audio PWM Power Output Stage -  The true digital audio amplifiers (TDAA) system consists of a PCM–PWM modulator device and a PWM power output device. The PCM–PWM processor accepts a serial PCM digital audio stream and converts it to a 3.3-V PWM audio stream. The TDAA output stage provides a large-signal PWM output. The digital PWM signal....(added 3/05)
Reference stabilizes exponential current -  25-Oct-01 Issue of EDN  In an antilog converter, the difference between the base voltages of two transistors sets the ratio of their collector currents  The use of matched transistors balances the first-order temperature coefficient but leaves a temperature-dependent gain term, q/kT. Classic antilog circuits use a thermistor in the drive circuitry to correct this temperature dependency.... [Design Idea by Tom Napier, North Wales, PA]

Regulator has One Active Part -  03/16/95 EDN-Design Ideas EDN is migrating links. This link is not verified.  Search the "title" + EDN for new link.
Regulator Makes Dual Tracking Reference -  11/07/96 EDN-Design Ideas....You can use the venerable 723 voltage regulator in new and unusual ways. For example, you can modify its topology as in Figure 1 to yield a low-component-count, dual-polarity tracking voltage reference. The 723, a long-time standard in power-supply design, is a flexible IC that includes a temperature-compensated voltage reference, an error amplifier,....
