Are all linear regulators adjustable Circuit Diagram Voltage Regulator. A fixed or linear voltage regulator is a device or circuit which is responsible for providing a constant dc output voltage for any changes in input voltage or load conditions. It is the most essential part of electronic devices. It acts as a buffer for protecting the components of the circuit from damage. The Basic Linear Regulator A linear regulator operates by using a voltage-controlled current source to force a fixed voltage to appear at the regulator output terminal (see Figure 1). The control circuitry must monitor (sense) the output voltage, and adjust the current source (as required by the load) to hold the output voltage at the desired
to force a fixed voltage to appear at the regulator output terminal. The control circuitry continuously monitors (senses) the output voltage, and adjusts the current source (as required by the load) to hold the output voltage at the desired value. • The design limit of the current source defines the maximum load current the regulator can open-circuit output voltage, and then places that voltage across the load. Thus, the current through the load does not have to come from the original circuit—the load current instead is provided by the op-amp (through its power supply). An application of this then is with our regulator circuit: 0 R L R L I S V LZK V V + = − 10 Z Im A ≈

Load: The output of the 7805 is connected to a load (represented by a resistor in the circuit) that consumes power. Steps to Design the Voltage Regulator. 1. Select the Input Voltage: Choose a DC voltage source that is higher than the output voltage. The 7805 requires a minimum input voltage of 7V to produce a stable 5V output. All linear power supply circuits which are designed to produce a stabilized, constant voltage and current output fundamentally incorporate transistor and zener diode stages for getting the required regulated outputs. These circuit projects using discrete parts can be in the form of of permanently fixed or constant voltage, or stabilized adjustable output voltage.
