Session 2526 A Laboratory Experiment in Linear Series Voltage Regulators Jeffrey S. Franzone University of MemphisAbstractMany advanced electronics courses cover linear voltage regulators from the “black-box” (or IC)perspective. Although this perspective is valid and useful, it doesn’t give students muchopportunity in a laboratory setting to deeply investigate the behavior of the major parts of theregulator, its characteristics, and the reinforcement of transistor theory. Many “canned” linearvoltage regulator labs favor the “quick-and-dirty” approach
