A regulated power supply is one that controls the output voltage or current to a specific value; the controlled value is held nearly constant despite variations in either load current or the voltage supplied by the power supply's energy source. All electronic products or end equipment require Power Management, Battery Management and Regulation using Linear Regulators; Synchronous Buck Regulators; Low Drop Out Regulators; Switching Regulators, PWM Regulators. Check out Avnet Memec ‘Power to the Core’ solutions for guidance on suitable products from our suppliers.  In most cases Avnet Memec have Single Chip solutions for Power Management requirements however we also have discrete Power Management offerings including MOSFETS.

End Equipment often has analogue interface and measurement requirements, demanding high precision solutions. Manufacturers such as Cirrus Logic, with their APEX Precision solutions in Precision Power drivers and Voltage and Sine Wave References, can provide the answer to those demands. Interfacing to harsh field environments can be alleviated by employing the Digital Isolation products from Silicon Labs. Transformers, Inductors and Power Magnetics are required to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled conductors.
