5V FET Voltage Regulator and How It Works

Posted on February 3, 2011 by Rend

Using a FET and two additional transistors (cascaded to improve the gain), a 5V FET voltage regulator can be formed. The additional Tr2 and Tr3 transistors will improve the output current handling and decrease the output impedance. The output voltage … Continue reading →

50V Precision Regulator using LM10 IC

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Rend

This voltage regulator arrangement is unique, since the op-amp is configured not to see either the source voltage or the output voltage directly, making it possible to regulate higher voltage while the IC is only suffering the transistors bias voltage. … Continue reading →

LM10 Negative Regulator

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Rend

It is possible to build a negative regulator using LM10 comparator and voltage reference IC. A transistor is employed to shift the reference current, increasing the minimum operating voltage to approximately 1.8V. The transistor should has high gain for better … Continue reading →
