Chapter 8 Voltage Regulators A device used to change AC into DC voltage is generally referred to as a power supply. range in complexity a simple half-wave rectifier as shown in figure 1 a unit which is voltage regulated, current limited, and temperature protected. The battery as a power supply 1) introduction: Many of the circuits used in industry are sensitive to a change in voltage. A regulator must be used to provide a constant output voltage. The voltage of an unregulated power supply changes with a change in load current. This change is caused by the internal impedan
