Part1: Regulator
◻Regulator principle
◻Linear regulator
🞑Linear series regulator
🞑Linear shunt regulator
◻Switching regulator
🞑Buck DC-DC converter (Up)
🞑Boost DC –DC converter (Down)
◻IC regulator
2

Regulator principle
◻Vin: DC with ripples
◻Vout: DC without ripples (very small ripple)
🞑Input and load variation in a limited range
🞑High efficiency (low power loss)
3

Linear series regulators
◻Control element is a pass transistor
◻Sample circuit: voltage sensor
◻Error detector: to compare output voltage to ref.
voltage

Linear series regulator
◻Corresponding element: control element, sample
circuit, error detector
