# '''Linear Regulators:''' Linear regulators use linear, non-switching techniques to regulate the voltage output from the power supply. The regulator’s resistance varies according to the load and results in a constant output voltage. <br \>

Overall linear regulators are simple to use, low cost and less noisy as compared to switching regulators but switching regulators are more efficient and have a high voltage range of operation.<br \> <br \>
