🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between linear regulators and switching regulators • How a pass transistor operates in its active (linear) region versus fully on/off • What it means to vary conduction proportionally to voltage or current

💭 Think About

• Which type of regulator uses rapid on/off switching and duty-cycle control: linear or switching? • In a linear regulator, is the series/pass element usually operated fully saturated/cutoff, or somewhere in between, to drop excess voltage? • Which choice best describes a device whose resistance (or conduction level) is smoothly adjusted to keep the output voltage steady despite changes in input or load?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options describe on/off switching with duty cycle control (typical of switching regulators, not linear). • Look for the option that mentions continuous variation of conduction rather than simple on/off behavior. • Eliminate any choice that describes a specific waveform shape (like a ramp) if a regulator’s goal is to provide a stable DC output.

Question 1 of 20

In a linear electronic voltage regulator:

The output is a ramp voltage.

The pass transistor switches from the “off” state to the “on”" state.

The control device is switched on or off, with the duty cycle proportional to the line or load conditions.

The conduction of a control element is varied in direct proportion to the line voltage or load current.
