Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A voltage regulator continues to show output fluctuations even after verifying capacitors and the load current. Formulate a troubleshooting approach to identify further potential causes.
💡 Hint: Think about how each element in the circuit interacts and affects voltage regulation.
After implementing a heat sink, the regulator still overheats during operation. Propose an analytical method to investigate.
💡 Hint: Consider the entire system and not just the regulator in isolation.
