Switching regulator

A switching regulator is a type of power supply that efficiently converts electrical voltage from one level to another. It uses electronic components like transistors to rapidly turn the voltage on and off, controlling the energy flow to achieve the desired output voltage. This method is more efficient than traditional linear regulators, which dissipate excess voltage as heat. As a result, switching regulators are commonly used in various electronic devices, from smartphones to computers, because they save energy, reduce heat generation, and can handle a wide range of input voltages.
