Assume IADJ = 100 micro A (max) and VREF = 1.25 V. (MAY/JUN2009)
3. Write a technical note on switched mode power supply (APR/MAY2008) A
4. With circuit schematic explain the working principle of IC 8038 function A
generator. (APR/MAY2008) (AUG2008) (NOV/DEC2008) (NOV/DEC2007)
5. With a suitable schematic diagram explain how IC 723 can be used as a A
high voltage regulator (Vo> 7 volts) (NOV/DEC2007)
6. Draw the circuit diagram of IC 723 based positive voltage regulator, to give A
+8 V output at 200 mA. Incorporate short circuit protection current limit circuit to
operate at 400 mA. Find all resistor values, Calculate their wattage and specify the
type of resistors. (NOV/DEC2006)
