We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Voltage regulation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release New team expands power management business from
ON Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "ON Semiconductor Corp has completed its acquisition of the voltage regulation and thermal monitoring products for computing applications from Analog Devices".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release How not to let your electrical system catch cold from
Powervar: "Rob Morris argues that power systems - like computers - need to be protected from viruses".
In November 2007, we covered the news from International Rectifier
concerning its IR38xx SupIRBuck family
- take a look at PoL regulators enable cut and paste power design
which says: "Wide-input single-output synchronous buck voltage regulators target high-density high-performance data centre and consumer applications".
Take a look also at the news release from ON Semiconductor, Analog acquisition to expand power portfolio,
as well as Thin-film resistors add powerful new options from TT Electronics Welwyn Components,
and LDO provides portable flexibility from Texas Instruments (April 2006-).
