A major consideration for the use of a switching regulator power supply over a linear regulator is:
The switching regulator has better regulation.
The linear regulator does not require a transformer to step down AC line voltages to a usable level.
The switching regulator can be used in nearly all applications requiring regulated voltage.
The overall efficiency of a switching regulator is much higher than a linear power supply .
