Tag: Low Dropout

The TPS7A24 low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator supports a 2.4-V to 18-V input voltage range with ultra-low quiescent current (IQ). These features help modern appliances meet increasingly stringent energy requirements and help extend battery life in portable-power solutions. The...

Peter Demchenko @ edn.com This Design Idea circuit regulates the current through one or more LEDs, making it almost independent of supply voltage. Its main advantage is a very small dropout voltage, which can be less than 100mV. The design could find use on LED strips, where the...
