Application Notes

Linear Power Supplies

A linear regulated power supply regulates the output voltage by dropping excess voltage in a series dissipative component. They use a moderately complex regulator circuit to achieve very low load and line regulation. Linear regulated power supplies also have very little ripple and very little output noise.

Typical applications of Linear regulated power supplies
General purpose use - including, but not limited to:

• low noise amplifiers
• signal processing
• data acquisition - including sensors, multiplexers, A/D converters, and sample & hold circuits.
• automatic test equipment
• laboratory test equipment
• control circuits
• anywhere that excellent regulation and/or low ripple is required
