Lineaarregulaattorit
Lineaarregulaattorit, often referred to as linear regulators, are electronic circuits that provide a stable and constant output voltage regardless of variations in input voltage or load current. They achieve this by dissipating excess voltage as heat. This makes them suitable for applications where a clean and predictable power supply is required, but they are less efficient than switching regulators.
The fundamental principle behind a linear regulator involves a pass element, typically a transistor, which acts
Common types of linear regulators include series and shunt regulators. Series regulators are more prevalent and
