It then shows how to choose among the three most common power-supply ICs powered with DC voltages: linear regulators, switching regulators, and charge pumps. Why Power-Supply ICs?What are power supply ICs? Power supply ICs (Integrated Circuits) are electronic components that convert and regulate electrical power in a wide range of applications like automotive, the Internet of Things (IoT), consumer, medical, industrial, and many other applications. Infineon's ICs ensure. Power supply chips are tiny integrated circuits that play a big role in modern electronics. They regulate and manage electrical power, ensuring every component in your device receives the right amount of energy.
