Applications
Linear regulators are simple voltage regulator circuits commonly adopted in electronics. A Linear voltage regulator uses a closed feedback loop to bias a pass element to maintain a steady voltage across output terminals. Linear regulators are most commonly highly integrated, which include the pass element and feedback loop.
