isn't the 'bandgap' link in this page leading to a wrong Bandgap page ?

No...that's right --Lagrangian 19:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vendor Reference

I keep trying to add something but it keeps getting reverted. I would like to discuss this, because I do not believe it to be "spam" yet everyone who reverts it keeps marking it as such. I am opening this to the general community.

I firmly believe that mentioning the number 1 supplier worldwide with a link (I will be happy to provide a resource) is not spam. Voltage regulators are not merely theoretical objects, they exist and are sold on a daily basis. As such, a link to a suppliers webpage is relevant as a reference to what regulators are available at present. It also gives an idea of what parameters are important and what average parameter values might be (by looking at the datasheet). Spam is when a user tries to put something on a page as vandalism or advertisement. Wikipedia is an information source, and providing information about reality is not spam! I will not revert unless I get support, but I do believe that this is realistic.--Lagrangian 17:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What would happen, if...

...if I'd put ground and plus revers - so that the V-in is not positive as expected but negative? How many Ohm is the typical resistance of a LDO about? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.83.13.227 (talk) 23:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

some LDOs are specified to protect against this sort of thing, some will let out the blue smoke, it all depends on the detail of the design. 193.195.77.146 16:09, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
