Question

Design a linear series regulator with 2 transistors with the following specifications. Required Vout: 10V, Nominal Vin: 15V. Nominal output current: 15mA. Q2 has a high current gain (>100). Q1 current gain is 50

(a) If ZD1 is a 5.2V Zener diode, calculate suitable component values for R1,R2, R3 to meet the required specification

(b) Compare the efficiency of a shunt regulator to a series regulator as shown in Figure 2 at the same load voltage and current.

(c) The linear regulator is to be replaced with a switching regulator. Describe and draw the circuit of the most appropriate switching regulator.

(d) What are the advantages and disadvantages of replacing the linear regulator with a switching power converter? Include at least one real-world example of where such a replacement is practical and one where it is not.
