• The major disadvantage of a power supply is that output voltage changes with
the variation in input voltage. In many electronic applications, it is desired that
the output voltage should remain constant regardless of the variation in the
input voltage or load. In order to ensure this, a voltage stabilizing device called
voltage regulator is used
Load regulation :- It is the change in output voltage when the load current changes from minimum to maximum value.

Pin Diagram : IC723
Applications(Functions) :
It acts as a:
1. The Zener diode, reference amplifier and current source produces a fixed reference
voltage at Vref Pin (7.15v).
2. The other section of IC consists of error amplifier, series pass transistor Q1, current
limiting transistor Q2 .
3. The error amplifier compares the output voltage applied at inverting input terminal
with the reference voltage Vref applied at the non-inverting input terminal.
4. Output error amplifier controls the conduction of Q1 which in turn controls the
output voltage.
SWITCH MODE POWER SUPPLY
(SMPS) :
EXPLANATION OF SMPS :
1. RECETIFIER AND FILTER :- It converts ac supply voltage to a pulsating dc, which is then filtered
out to reduce the ripple content. Power diodes are used in bridge configuration (rectifier).
3. HIGH FREQUENCY POWER TRANSFORMER:- It isolates the circuit and steps-up or steps-
down the voltage to the desired level .The output of the transformer is given to the output rectifier.
4. OUTPUT RECTIFIER:- This rectifier is different from the first block of the rectifier in that the
frequency of the voltage is very high. Schottky diodes are used in bridge configuration (rectifier).
5. CONTROL AND FEEDBACK:- It provides a pulse width modulates (PWM) output signal. The
PWM controller provides a duty-cycle that varies pulse to provide an accurate dc output voltage.
ADVANTAGES :
1. Low power dissipation
2. High efficiency (95%)
3. Higher power handling capacity
4. Small size
DISADVANTAGES :
1. Increased switching loss
2. Radio frequency interference (RFI)
3. Higher ripple content in output
4. Poor load regulation
APPLICATIONS :
1. Personal computer
2. Printers
3. Video games
4. TV receiver
