Load regulation depends on the amount of power dissipated in the load.

Linear and switching are two main categories of voltage regulators.

Two types of linear regulator are series and bypass.

Three types of switching regulator are step-down, step-up, and inverting.

The three terminals of a 78XX series regulator are input, output, and control.

An external bypass transistor is sometimes used to increase the current capability of a regulator.

Current limiting is used to protect the external bypass transistor.

The purpose of a heat sink is to help the regulator dissipate excessive heat.

A variable pulse-width modulator is part of a linear voltage regulator.

The change in voltage from no-load to full-load condition.

The smaller the voltage regulation, the better the operation of the voltage supply circuit.

Maintain a nearly constant output voltage when the input voltage varies.

Maintain a nearly constant output voltage when the load varies.

These are the fundamental classes of voltage regulators?

Two basic types of linear regulator?

This component of voltage regulator compares sample voltage with reference voltage?

This component of voltage regulator controls the amount of the input voltage that gets to the output.

If the output voltage increases, the comparator circuit provides a control signal to cause the series control element to decrease the amount of the output voltage-thereby maintaining the output voltage.

In op-amp series voltage regulator, the control element compares the feedback voltage with a Zener diode reference voltage.

In op-amp series voltage regulator, the error detector compares the feedback voltage with a Zener diode reference voltage.

The output of filter known as __________

In a basic shunt regulator, VOUT is determined by

In a linear regulator, the control transistor is conducting

The main purpose of current limiting in a regulator is
