The Art of Electronics, on regulators. Chapter 5 probably made most of an impression on the late-teenage me, because it explains voltage regulation and power supplies both linear and switching.

And sometimes it’s just annoying, like the use of cheap voltage regulators that fail often and perform poorly. [fvfilippetti] was tired of dealing with this on his motorcycle, so he built a ...

The rectifier converts AC into DC, powering the motorcycle’s battery and electricals. Regulator: The regulator maintains the converted DC voltage at a safe level, between 13.5V and 14.7V. These levels ...

IC voltage regulators are three-terminal devices that provide a constant DC output voltage that is independent of the input voltage, output load current, and temperature. There are three types of IC ...

Linear voltage regulators are key components in any power-management system that requires a stable and ripple-free power supply. A subset of linear voltage regulators is a class of circuits known as ...

Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2024 FLHX, FLHXSE, FLTRX, FLTRXSE, and FLTRXSTSE motorcycles. The voltage regulator output wire may rub on the front corner of the ...

In 1992, Congress tightened certain banking rules as part of its efforts to crack down on money laundering. The new law gave federal regulators the power to revoke a bank's charter when it is ...

The devastation is easy enough to see from the ground, but taking a bird's-eye view hammers home the challenges that people in Asheville, North Carolina, face after Hurricane Helene. NewsNation took ...

Football fans protested outside stadiums following the announcement of the European Super League in April 2021 The UK government will continue plans for an independent football regulator when the ...

The Federal Aviation Administration has signaled to SpaceX that it won't approve a launch license for the next test flight of the Starship rocket until at least late November, the company said in ...

The supply voltage is shared between components in a series circuit, so the sum of the voltages across all of the components in a series circuit is equal to the supply voltage, \({V_s}\).

Voltage regulators are power converters that provide voltage control capabilities. They accept a voltage that varies over a given range and generate an output voltage that does not vary. Unlike ...
