REGULATOR CIRCUIT FOR PARALLEL CONFIGURATION AND USER DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18336278 titled 'REGULATOR CIRCUIT FOR PARALLEL CONFIGURATION AND USER DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

The abstract of the patent application describes a regulator circuit consisting of two linear regulator circuits working in parallel to control the voltage and current on an output node.

  • The first linear regulator circuit adjusts the voltage on the output node based on a reference voltage and provides a certain amount of current.
  • The second linear regulator circuit also supplies current to the output node and adjusts the magnitude of this current based on the first current from the first linear regulator circuit.

Potential Applications: - Power supply systems - Electronic devices requiring stable voltage and current levels

Problems Solved: - Ensuring stable voltage and current output - Improving efficiency of regulator circuits

Benefits: - Enhanced control over voltage and current levels - Increased reliability of electronic devices

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Regulator Circuits for Enhanced Power Supply Systems" This technology can be used in various industries such as telecommunications, automotive, and consumer electronics to improve the performance and reliability of power supply systems.

Questions about Regulator Circuits: 1. How do regulator circuits impact the efficiency of electronic devices?

  Regulator circuits play a crucial role in maintaining stable voltage and current levels, which directly affects the efficiency and performance of electronic devices.
  

2. What are the key differences between linear and switching regulator circuits?

  Linear regulator circuits provide a simpler design and better noise performance, while switching regulator circuits are more efficient but can introduce more noise into the system.
