Linear VS Switching Power Supplies
Historically, the linear regulator was the basic technique of producing a regulated output voltage. It controls by cutting a higher input voltage down to a lower output voltage via linearly controlling the conductivity of a series pass power device in response to changes in its load. This results in a large voltage being placed across [...]
