hi, in an assigment i have, it asks me to describe the operation of integrated circuit, regulators.
Iv looked at some sites found using google but i dont fully understand as they basically say Regulators convert varying input voltage to a constant regulated output voltage. Do they mean that you can attach them to a circuit and what ever voltage is put through the regulator, within reason, will come out as the regulators stated output i.e. 12 volts for an LM7812.
If this is the case then whats the benefit of it?
