ð Regulated DC Voltage vs. LDO: What’s the Difference? Which One Should You Choose? ð Many people have heard of Regulated DC Voltage and LDO (Low Dropout Regulator) in electronics or circuit design, but do you know if they are the same? ðĪ Today, we will clarify everything with a detailed explanation and a comparison table to help you decide which one to use! ð ð What is Regulated DC Voltage? Regulated DC Voltage refers to a DC voltage that is stabilized regardless of variations in load or input voltage. The circuit must be able to maintain a steady output voltage. ðđ There are several ways to achieve regulated DC voltage, such as: ✅ Linear Regulators (e.g., 78xx, 79xx series) ✅ Switching Regulators (e.g., Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost converters) ✅ LDO (Low Dropout Regulator) (a type of Linear Regulator) Common applications include adapters, power banks, and switching power supplies (SMPS) that provide stable voltages like 5V, 9V, or 12V. ⚡ ð What is an LDO (L...
