Smart ripple canceller offers near-zero dropout - 03/10/14 EDN Design Ideas: Eliminate linear power supply ripple losslessly! Ripple cancellars, also known as ripple-eaters, gyrators, or electronic filters, are useful when a supply needs to be clean but the absolute supply voltage is unimportant. A typical application of these circuits is in class-A power amplifiers. Compared to a linear regulator, they waste less power since they adapt themselves to the input voltage.

Solar Cell Phone Charger - This little gadget uses a small 3 volt solar cell to charge a 6 volt NIC ad battery pack which, in turn, may be used to charge many models of cell phones and other portable devices with the addition of a suitable low-dropout voltage regulator. The circuit "scavenges" energy from the solar cell by keeping it loaded near 1.5 volts (maximum energy transfer value) and trickle charges the internal battery pack with current pulses. The simple circuit isn't the most efficient possible but it manages a respectable 70% at 100 mA from the cell and 30% when the cell is providing only 25 mA which is actually pretty good without going to a lot more trouble or using more exotic components. __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.

Split Supply Generator - Occasionally a designer needs a dual power supply to power a circuit that is operating with signals near or at ground but the only available supply is a single polarity, usually positive. Many excellent IC solutions are available but a suitable solution for many projects may be constructed from "junk box" parts. The simple circuit below will generate about 9 volts and -4 volts from a single 5 volt supply with sufficient current to power a simple op-amp circuit. The positive voltage drops to about 7 volts when supplying 7 mA and the negative voltage drops to about 3.5 volts when supplying 3.5 mA (1k loads). Although this isn't exactly a +- 15 volt supply, this is plenty of voltage and current for many op-amp circuits and will allow the output of most op-amps to swing below zero volts and will allow most op-amp inputs to measure voltages below zero volts. This circuit uses the CD4049 which is a high current version of the CD4069 which will also work with somewhat lower current capability. __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.

Switching-regulator Design lowers noise to 100 µV - 12/04/97 EDN-Design ideas Expending unconscionable amounts of bypass capacitors, ferrite beads, shields, Mumetal, and aspirin to ameliorate noise-induced effects is no longer the only way to tackle switching-regulator noise. Using a low-noise IC , you can now design switching converters with only 100 mV of noise. Size, output-flexibility, and efficiency advantages have made switching regulators common in electronic apparatus. The emphasis on these attributes has resulted in circuitry requiring minimal board area and with 95% efficiency. Although these advantages are welcome, they necessitate compromising other parameters.

Synchronized Regulator Produces Coherent Noise - 03/17/94 EDN Design Ideas: By using a gated-oscillator architecture instead of a clocked-PWM one, gated-oscillator-type switching regulators permit high efficiency over extended ranges of output current. This architecture eliminates the housekeeping currents associated with the continuous operation of fixed-frequency designs. Gated-oscillator regulators simply self-clock at whatever frequency is necessary to maintain the output voltage. Typically, loop-oscillation frequency ranges from a few hertz to the kilohertz region, depending on the load. Design by Jim Williams, Sean Gold, and Steve Pietkiewicz, Linear Technology, Milpitas, CA
