Linear Regulator:

  • "Intelligent resistor"
  • Power Dissipation:
    • P Dissipated = (Vin - Vout) * IOut
    • Low efficiency when Vin is much higher than Vout
    • INSERT POWER DISSIPATION FORMULA HERE, WITH THETA AND WHAT NOT


Switching Regulator:





Linear vs Switching Pro Con

Linear Pro

  • Easy Implementation
    • Less components (and board space)
    • Pretty much any layout will work
