    The document discusses different types of voltage regulators including Zener diodes and three-terminal IC voltage regulators. It explains that voltage regulators use feedback and high-gain amplifiers to maintain a constant output voltage even when the input voltage or load current varies. It also notes that regulators require bypass capacitors and have a minimum dropout voltage specification.

    Demonstration of Zener diode as a voltage regulator

    Voltage regulation is the measure of circuits ability to maintained a constant output even when input voltage or load current varies. % regulation is used to measure how well the regulator is Performing its function.

    Three-Terminal IC Voltage Regulators

    Regulators use feedback with high-gain amplifiers to reduce ripple voltage at the output. Bypass capacitors provide low-impedance paths for high-frequency signals to ensure proper operation of the regulator. Regulators provide excellent line and load regulation, maintaining constant voltage even if the output current changes by many orders of magnitude. A main design constraint is VREG which must not fall below a minimum specified dropout voltage (a few volts).
