Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Suppose the input voltage to a linear voltage regulator fluctuates drastically. Design a feedback mechanism that minimizes instability in output voltage.

💡 Hint: Think about how you can predict changes and adjust the response accordingly.

Challenge 2 Hard

Calculate the maximum allowable load for a linear voltage regulator with a dropout voltage of 1V if the input voltage is 6V and the output voltage is required to be 5V.

💡 Hint: Break down the voltages to see what the limits are.
