 LINEAR VOLTAGE REGULATORS
 Introduction
 The linear regulator is the basic building block of nearly every power supply used in
 electronics.  The IC linear regulator is so easy to use that it is virtually foolproof, and
 so inexpensive that it is usually one of the cheapest components in an electronic
 assembly.
 This paper will present information that gives the user greater understanding of how
 a linear regulator works, and will help to de-mystify regulator specifications and
 applications.
 Some typical circuits will be presented to highlight the commercial regulators that are
 currently available.  The primary focus of the new product examples is in the area of
 Low-dropout regulators, which offer great advantages over standard regulators in
 many applications.
