Regulated Power Supplies

Chapter Overview

Chapter 4 covered rectification, filtering, and zener diode shunt regulation. This chapter builds on those concepts and shows how basic power-supply performance is enhanced to meet the needs of modern electronic systems.


This chapter will help you to:

1. Perform basic calculations for power supply regulator circuits.

2. Explain the use of feedback in voltage regulator circuits.

3. Identify the types of current regulation.

4. Identify crowbar circuits.

5. Identify switch-mode regulators and their characteristics.

6. Troubleshoot regulated power supplies.
