difference between regulator and dc-dc
Hey there...
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, that's what I thought until I realised, looking at my schematics, that there are voltage regulators out there that are able to output say, 5V from an input of say, around 12V or something.
Something I know that's also different is the implementation of a chopper and a regulator is the complexity of the circuits. What I'm thinking is that if it's so much more difficult (usually) to design a chopper because of the number of components involved, why bother? One could always just take the easy route with a regulator right?
