The circuit in Figure 1 is a high-power analog of the popular TL431 programmable shunt regulator. This two-terminal circuit is convenient when the drain of the P-channel FET is grounded, since it ...

Whether squeezing the last millijoule from your battery or operating a cooler CPU board, the goal is to burn less power. For many loads the power dissipation varies as the square of the applied ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Did you know that your shunt regulator is in danger? Don’t worry—the fix is free (and free is good). A feedback circuit ...

voltage. Often a passive single-pole RC filter will satisfy design requirements, but this approach typically suffers from several drawbacks including slow response time, noisy results, and having an ...
