This article presents linear regulators and the computation of its efficiency. It also describes the advantages and other properties of a linear regulator, as well as the low drop out (LDO) regulator, ...

Stable regulation of output voltage is an operational imperative of linear regulators. While this topic has been discussed in the past (Reference 1 and Reference 2), this article provides a practical, ...

It’s become a matter of debate as to precisely when the 78xx series of linear regulators were designed or when they hit the market for that matter. Some will tell you their lineage can be traced back ...
