  1. Battery-Operated Remote-Temperature Sensor Drives 4- to 20-mA Current Loop
    You can remotely measure temperature using a 4- to 20-mA current loop as long as 4000 feet and a battery-powered, white-light LED driver. You usually configure this equipment to provide a programmable, constant current to an LED from a battery source. The TPS62300 series of ICs,...

  2. Cascode MOSFET Increases Boost Regulator's Input- and Output-Voltage Ranges
    Targeting use in portable-system applications that require raising a battery's voltage to a higher level, IC boost regulators often include output transistors that can drive storage inductors. However, most boost regulators' absolute-maximum input-voltage rating...

  3. Low-Dropout Regulator, SMPS Cascade Suppress Ripple, Maintain Efficiency
    A step-down SMPS (switched-mode power supply) efficiently converts unregulated power to a regulated output voltage. However, unwanted switching-induced ripple and input transients may appear on the output. Applying noisy power to an RF power amplifier can inject spurious signals...
