OTA as Programmable Resistor, Grounded Resistor and Floating Resistor: OTA as a Programmable Resistor: We may employ Ic OTA as a programmable resistor whose resistance is controlled by controlling current…
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) - Block Diagram and its Workings: Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) - Most of us take the mains ac supply for granted and use it almost casually…
Constant Voltage Transformer (CVT) - Construction and Working Principle: With the popularization of PCs, the constant voltage transformers (CVTs) have also become equally popular. The Constant Voltage Transformer is simply…
Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) or Switching Regulators: Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) - The regulated power supplies described earlier were basically linear voltage regulators. A linear voltage regulator possesses…
What is Current Foldback? The current limiting technique maintains a constant load current at some specified value and under overload condition, the Vout drops to zero. But, in case of…
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…
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…
Fixed Positive Voltage Regulators: The series 7800 regulators provide eight voltage options, rangÂing from 5 to 24 V, as indicated in Table 43.2. These ICs are designed as fixed voltage…
