Battery Switch With Low Dropout Regulator Circuit Diagram

Image
This is a simple Battery Switch With Low-Dropout Regulator Circuit Diagram. In the form of the LT1579 Linear Technology (www.linear-tech.com) has produced a practical battery switch with an integrated low-dropout regulator. In contrast to previous devices no diodes are required. The circuit is available in a 3.3 V version (LT1579CS8-3.3) and in a 5 V version (LT1579CS8-5), both in SO8 SMD packages. There is also an adjustable version and versions in an SO16 package which offer a greater range of control and drive signals. The main battery, whose terminal voltage must be at least 0.4 V higher than the desired output voltage, is connected to pin IN1. The backup battery is connected to pin IN2. The regulated output OUT can deliver a current of up to 300 mA. The LDO regulator part of the IC includes a pass transistor for the main input voltage IN1 and another for the backup battery on IN2. The IC will switch over to the backup battery when it detects that the pass transistor for the main ...

Low Dropout Adjustable Breadboard Power Supply

Image
This project details the design of a very low dropout adjustable power supply. A good power supply is essential to electronic projects. While there are many existing designs for adjustable power supplies, this one makes improvements that make it more useful for hobby designs MIC2941 regulator has guaranteed 1.25A output Low dropout, only 40mV - 400mV compared to 1.25V - 2.0V for LM317. This means you can use a wider range of output voltages including generating 3.3V from as low as 3.7V (such as 3 AA's or a lithium ion battery)! Short circuit and overheating protection Input diode to protect circuitry from negative voltages or AC power supplies. 2.1mm DC jack and terminal connector for voltage inputs Two indicator LEDs for high and low voltages Output selection switch to select from 3.3v, 5v and Adjustable On-board potentiometer for adjusting voltage from 1.25V up to within 0.5V of the input voltage. (20V max) On/Off switch for entire board
