A voltage regulator is an integrated circuit that is used to maintain a stable output voltage instead of changing the input voltage (or) load conditions. Almost every electronic device is designed with a voltage regulator to keep the load voltage stable. Generally, a voltage regulator may utilize a simple feed-forward design (or) may contain negative feedback, an electromechanical mechanism (or) electronic components. It is used to adjust one (or) more AC or DC voltages based on the design. … [Read more...]
