What is Current Limiting Protection? The circuit arrangement for IC 723 as low voltage or high voltage regulator has no protection. If short circuiting takes place (when load demands more current), regulator IC makes efforts…
LM340 Series Voltage Regulator: This LM340 Series Voltage Regulator is typical of the three-terminal voltage regulators. The block diagram is shown in Fig. 43.27. The built-in reference voltage Vref drives the noninverting input of an…
Adjustable Voltage Regulators: Sometimes variable voltage is required and under such a situation adjustable voltage regulators is used. A number of IC regulators, like LM317, LM338, and LM350, are adjustable regulators. They have maximum load…
Fixed Negative Voltage Regulator: As we have seen many times previously, positive and negative regulated power supply voltages are often required. In response, many manufacturers have developed negative three-terminal regulators. They offer the same types…
Fixed Positive Voltage Regulators: The series 7800 regulators provide eight voltage options, ranging from 5 to 24 V, as indicated in Table 43.2. These ICs are designed as fixed voltage regulators and with adequate heat…
Three Terminal IC Voltage Regulators - Block Diagram: The latest generation of IC voltage regulators has devices with only three pins: one for the unregulated input voltage, one for the regulated output voltage, and one…
IC Voltage Regulators: IC voltage regulators are versatile and relatively inexpensive and are available with features such as a programmable output, current-voltage boosting, internal short-circuit current limiting, thermal shutdown, and floating operation for high voltage…
Op Amp Regulators: The Op Amp Regulators which includes Op-Amp Series Voltage Regulator Circuit, Current Limiting circuit, Foldback Limiting and Op-Amp Shunt Voltage Regulator Circuit. Let us see one by one in detail. Op-Amp Series…
Shunt Voltage Regulator Block Diagram: A shunt voltage regulator provides regulation by shunting current away from the load. The block diagram of such a voltage regulator is depicted in Fig. 43.12. The input unregulated voltage…
Controlled Transistor Series Regulator with Short Circuit Protection: Controlled Transistor Series Regulator with Short Circuit Protection - If the load resistance RL is reduced or load terminals are shorted accidentally, a very large load current…
