7 / 31 Why No Linear Volage Regulaion? In principle, could be adjused using a rheosa or a ransisor in he linear region Wha would be he efficiency if = 1 V and = 5 V? Wha would be he losses in he ransisor if = 1 A? Why linear volage regulaion does no work in pracice (excep in very low-power drives)? Rheosa u CE Transisor in he linear region
