The 1996 TI Power Supply Circuits Databook

13 October 2025 · By Charlotte Hughes

At Force Technologies, we do more than supply components. We preserve capability. That is why we are pleased to announce the latest addition to our Extensive Library: the 1996 Texas Instruments Power Supply Circuits Databook.

This classic reference manual is far more than a snapshot of analogue design history. It is a vital resource for engineers, maintainers and system integrators who depend on trusted, legacy technology to keep mission-critical hardware in service.

What’s Inside the TI Power Supply Circuits Databook?

This edition of the databook covers a robust range of mixed-signal power solutions from one of the world’s most respected semiconductor manufacturers. It includes:

  • Voltage References – Precision devices for stable and accurate system design
  • Voltage Regulators – Fixed and adjustable regulators used across defence, industrial and aerospace applications
  • Supervisors – Essential circuits for voltage monitoring and system reliability
  • Switches and Optoisolators – Isolation and signal routing for high-reliability designs
  • Special Function ICs – Unique devices that address specific design challenges

Each section includes full specifications, application notes and circuit examples, making this an indispensable tool for engineers supporting legacy systems or integrating mature components into new designs.

This databook is now part of our DataBook library, a carefully curated archive of original semiconductor databooks and technical documentation. The aim is to support the long-term serviceability of complex systems that are still in operation around the world.

At Force Technologies, we believe information is as valuable as the components themselves. In a sector where product obsolescence is often unavoidable, having access to original documentation helps reduce risk and preserve system integrity.

Why It Matters

Legacy systems are still in active use across many sectors, from aerospace to defence to industrial control. Supporting them requires more than compatible parts. It demands a deep understanding of the original design data.

That is why our Extensive Library exists. It provides access to the documentation needed to accurately identify, cross-reference and support components with confidence.

Our role is not just to keep systems running. It is to ensure they are running as they were originally intended, with the right parts, backed by the right information.

If you are maintaining a long-service platform, modernising older infrastructure or managing a difficult obsolescence issue, our Extensive Library is here to support you.

At Force Technologies Limited, we do not just stock components. We preserve the knowledge that keeps your systems operating. Get in touch to find out more.
