  1. High-current, low-voltage shunt regulator
    This design idea describes a high-current (up to 8 A) shunt-regulator built around the TLV431 low-voltage, adjustable, precision shunt-regulator IC. Special attention was paid to implementing this design as a...

  2. Add a grounded-switch feature for TOPSwitch on/off control
    The Power Integrations TOPSwitch family of integrated flyback-regulator ICs provides exceptional performance in small, low-pin-count packages. For the lowest-pin-count packages, the multifunction, or M, pin serves...

  3. Circuit forms constant-current SCR
    A typical SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) requires a trigger current, which causes the SCR structure to latch on. Once the device latches, the current through the SCR is solely a function of external component...

  4. Shunt regulator provides overvoltage protection
    The circuit in Figure 1 uses a typical technique for varying the output voltage of a power supply via a programmable control voltage. Although the topology and schematic details of the power supply are not...

  5. Simple Circuit Allows Long PWM Soft Starts
    Available from multiple sources, the UC384x family of current-mode, PWM (pulse-width-modulated) power-supply controllers offers good performance and has spawned a variety of similar ICs. All members of the UC384x family...
