Texas Instruments has announced a low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator, with what it claims it “industry’s lowest quiescent current of sub-25nA. The regulator features low Iq control at light loads even in dropout conditions”. Called TPS7A02, it can accept inputs across 1.5 – 6.0V and is available with fixed outputs between 0.8 and 5.0V (50mV steps) ...

Swedish and Chinese scientists are aiming indoor photovoltaics with organic materials for flexible solar cells. A 1cm2 cell made from them converted 1000 lux light at 26.1% efficiency, and delivered above 1V for more than 1,000 hours under ambients between 200 and 1,000 lux. A 4cm2 version, created by blade coating, maintained 23% efficiency. Chemically, the researchers ...
