Voltage Regulator

Hi reader, Welcome to my post. In this post, I'll tell you about  •What is a voltage regulator IC •How a voltage regulator IC work •What are the uses of voltage regulators IC. The first point, what is a voltage regulator IC? It is a 3 pin IC which is having a heat dissipation plate that is thermally protected. As a huge amount of voltage flows in its input terminal. It is of two (2) types positive voltage regulator and negative voltage regulator, for the +ve voltage regulator it has 78xx series. where xx can be 03,05,06,09,12,15,25 volts. Similarly for -ve voltage regulator it has 79xx series and same voltage ranges mentioned above for +ve voltage regulator. So coming to the second point,   How a voltage regulator IC work? In this voltage regulator IC when you have given an unregulated DC voltage at its input terminal you always get a constant output from its output pin. Unregulated DC voltage means the input can be varied in a certain range like, for example: I ha...
