3-C-022: Voltage Regulators, Zener Diodes

3-22C1: In a linear electronic voltage regulator:

The conduction of a control element is varied in direct proportion to the line voltage or load current.

The output is a ramp voltage.

The pass transistor switches from the “off” state to the “on”" state.

The control device is switched on or off, with the duty cycle proportional to the line or load conditions.



3-22C2: A switching electronic voltage regulator:

Switches the control device on or off, with the duty cycle proportional to the line or load conditions.

Varies the conduction of a control element in direct proportion to the line voltage or load current.

Provides more than one output voltage.

Gives a ramp voltage at its output.
