Introduction
• Batteries are often shown on a schematic diagram as the source of DC
voltage but usually the actual DC voltage source is a power supply.
• There are many types of power supply. Most are designed to convert high
voltage AC mains electricity to a suitable low voltage supply for
electronics circuits and other devices.
• A more reliable method of obtaining DC power is to transform, rectify,
filter and regulate an AC line voltage.
• This can be achieved with the help of Voltage Regulators
• It converts unregulated power supply into regulated one.
• The performance of a voltage regulated circuit is analyzed in terms of its
regulation
• For better performance of the circuit. % regulation must be as small as
possible.

Series Regulator Circuit (General description)
• Control element in series with
load between input and output.
• Output sample circuit senses a
change in output voltage.
• Error detector compares sample
voltage with reference voltage →
causes control element to
compensate in order to maintain a
constant output voltage.
Op-Amp Series Regulator
Zener diode is a constant voltage
device or reference voltage
R3 is limiting resistance and it will
limit the zener current
Zener voltage Vz is appearing as
voltage at non inverting terminal of
op-amp
R1 and R2 are potential divider
network and 𝑉−=
𝑉0 𝑅2
𝑅1+𝑅2
This voltage 𝑉− is appearing at the
inverting input terminal of op-amp.
The emitter current 𝐼 𝐸 =

The difference voltage 𝑉𝑑= 𝑉𝑧- 𝑉−
appearing at the input terminals of
op-amp is very small and it is
amplified by the op-amp to get an
output voltage 𝑉𝑜1

From this expression it is quite apparent
that the output of this circuit doesn't
depend on input. It is related with only
fixed quantities. That what we were
looking for.
𝐼 𝐸=
𝑉𝑜
𝑅 𝐿
Now consider the case, when 𝑉0 tend
to increase.
𝑉−=
𝑉0 𝑅2
𝑅1+𝑅2
That will increase 𝑉−
That will
decrease 𝑉𝑑
And that will
decrease 𝑉01
That will decreases 𝐼 𝐸
& hence 𝑉𝑜 will
decreases ultimately.
Shunt Regulator Circuit (General description)
• The control element is in parallel with load
• The unregulated input voltage provides
current to the load.
• Some of the current is pulled away by the
control element.
• If the load voltage tries to change due to a
change in the load resistance, the sampling
circuit provides a feedback signal to a
comparator.
• The resulting difference voltage then
provides a control signal to vary the
amount of the current shunted away from
the load to maintain the regulated output
voltage across the load.
Op-Amp Shunt Regulator
That will increase
𝑉+
That will
increase 𝑉𝑑
And that will
increase 𝑉01
Now consider the case, when 𝑉0 tend
to increase.

𝑉𝑑= 𝑉+ − 𝑉𝑧

𝑉+=
𝑉0 𝑅2
𝑅1+𝑅2
And that will
increase 𝐼SH
Now, since 𝐼SH+ 𝐼L is
constant, this increment in
𝐼SH will ultimately
decrease the 𝐼𝐿 and that
will decrease 𝑉𝑜
Switching Regulator Circuit (General description)
• The switching regulator is more
efficient than the linear series or
shunt type.
• This type regulator is ideal for
high current applications since
less power is dissipated.
• Basically, a switching regulator
passes voltage to the load pulses,
which are then filtered to provide
a smooth dc voltage.
• With switching regulators 90%
efficiencies can be achieved.

Now consider the case, when this switch is off

NB
1.The charging and
discharging time of capacitor
depends on the time, for
which transistor is on or off
2. And that time is dependent
on the error signal.
More the error signal, more
the charging.
Less the error signal, more
discharging..
Now, lets analyze the circuit in the case when Vout try to decrease
That will decrease
𝑉−
It means that the
transistor will be
on for higher
amount of time
And that will
increase 𝑉01
It will increase
the charging time
and decrease the
discharging time
& hence the
output voltage
Now, lets analyze the circuit in the case when Vout try to increase
That will increase
𝑉−
And that will
decrease 𝑉01
It means that the
transistor will be
on for smaller
amount of time
It will decrease
the charging time
and increase the
discharging time
& hence the
output voltage

This polarity will
change because
Inductor tries to
maintain constant
current across its

oppose changes in
its current.
Now, lets analyze the circuit in the case when Vout try to decrease
That will also
decrease
That will reduce
the op-amp
output
It means that
the transistor
will be on for
smaller amount
of time
Remember 𝑉𝐿was
decreasing with the
increase in 𝑉𝐶𝐸. As Q
is on for smaller time
so the decrease in 𝑉𝐿
will be low, and
when transistor will
get off this 𝑉𝐿 will be
added in 𝑉𝑖𝑛and
compensate the
decrease in output
voltage.
Now, lets analyze the circuit in the case when Vout try to increase
That will also
increase
That will
increase the op-
amp output
It means that
the transistor
will be on for
