What are Voltage Regulators?
Voltage regulators are components that maintain a consistent voltage output. Electronic components are often made to accept only a low maximum voltage, and can be badly damaged by a power surge. Likewise, a low voltage can fail to provide enough power for the component. Voltage regulators are often responsible for maintaining a voltage within the range that the electronic component can safely accept. A computer is one example of an electronic device that requires voltage regulators. Voltage regulators are responsible for transmitting the voltage generated by the computer’s power supply in a low-voltage flow that won’t damage the microprocessor. A computer may require one or two voltage regulators, depending on the system; some computers use special “voltage ID programmable” voltage regulators, which interface with the microprocessor to ensure a specific voltage level. Cars also use voltage regulators in the system that maintains the battery’s charge. Voltage regulators are usually part
Voltage regulators also convert the voltage similar to voltage converter/transformer and they regulate the voltage by stabilizing it. These are useful in countries where the current is not stable.
