A voltage regulator used to keep the voltage constant in electronics is called a linear regulator.The regulator’s constant voltage output is achieved by varying the resistance in response to the load and the input voltage.
The regulating circuit continuously adjusts its resistance, continuously dissipates the difference between the input and regulated voltages as waste heat, and continuously adjusts a voltage divider network to maintain a constant output voltage.
A switching regulator, on the other hand, uses an active device that oscillates (switches on and off) to maintain an average output value.
Efficiency is limited in linear regulators because the regulated voltage must always be lower than the input voltage, and the input voltage must always be high enough to allow the active device to drop some voltage.
Linear regulators can have the regulating device between the regulated load and the source (a series regulator) or in parallel with the load (a shunt regulator).
A Zener diode and a series resistor may be all that is needed in a simple linear regulator;The power pass element, error amplifier, and voltage reference are all separate stages in more complex regulators.
Single-chip regulators (ICs) are very common because a linear voltage regulator is a component of many devices.Assembly of discrete solid-state or vacuum tube components can also make up linear regulators.
The Global HV Linear Regulators market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A wider temperature range version of the LT1763, LT3008, and LT3010 high voltage linear regulators are now available, according to Linear Technology Corporation.
The new, high-reliability “MP” grade can operate in a wide range of environments, including avionics, military, industrial, automotive, RF, and telecom, between -55°C and +125°C.
The LT1763 is a 500mA LDO with a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth and less than 20VRMS output noise requiring just a tiny 0.01F bypass capacitor.
Battery drain is practically nonexistent because of the supply current’s meager 30 A and shutdown mode reduction to less than 0.5 A. The device can be powered by a range of input power supplies, from 1.8V to 20V, and it has an output voltage that can be set between 1.22V and 20V.
The LT1763 is stable utilizing any capacitor type, including ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors, and it can also run on capacitors as small as 3.3 F.
As a result, a lightweight, affordable solution for applications with limited space is produced. Reverse-battery protection, no reverse current, current limiting, and heat limiting are all features of the device’s internal protection circuitry.
