voltage regulator is a component to convert pulsating DC into constant DC.
Depends on the application.
no
unregulated voltage minus series regulator transistor drop.
A silicon transistor is a transistor made of silicon.
The junction (diode or transistor) will be destroyed.
Similar to a 2N3906 PNP transistor
I believe that is resistor transistor technology TTL transistor transistor logic
no
unregulated voltage minus series regulator transistor drop.
A series regulator maintains the output voltage at a constant level by constantly changing the effective resistance of the pass device, usually the output transistor.
Transistor Transistor Logic
In most sets, the HV regulator actually regulates the B+ voltage to the horizontal output transistor and the flyback transformer. A bad regulator indicates high current or loss of horizontal drive. Check the flyback transformer, the HO transistor and also look for proper waveform and voltage from the horizontal driver transistor/chip.
You can use a voltage regulator IC/transistor that can take any input voltage (to a point) and spit out whatever voltage you want, depending on your application (in this case 380 volts) then be sure you build a regulator with the correct IC/transistor. Hope this helps!
The 7812 is not a transistor. It is an integrated circuit, a voltage regulator designed to regulate an input voltage down to 12 volts output. It typically comes in a TO-220 case, and has three leads, so it sure does look like a transistor though!
A reduction of 36 volts (48 - 12) with 3 amperes of current rating in a series regulator represents 108 watts. That is quite a bit of heat. It would be better to use some kind of a switching regulator instead. Answering the specific question, however... The LM317 is only rated 1.5 amperes, so to get 3 amperes out of it you will need a power transistor that boosts the regulator's rating. You still can't avoid the power dissipation, however, so my original answer of using a switching regulator is apropos. As an alternative to the LM317, you can use the LM150 series, rated to 3 amperes, or the LM138 series, rated to 5 amperes.
Including a series capacitor in the input and/or output circuit of the transistor. If the capacitor in the output circuit is omitted there will be a dc component in the output.
it is a combination of two transistors connected in series. the emitter of transistor t1 is connected to the base of transistor t2 . now the total circuit acts as a single transistor. this combination will gives high gain, as the gain is multiplied.
You cannot build a transistor with two diodes. Even though the static junction characteristics of a transistor "looks like" two back to back series diodes, there is a relationship between the two junctions that cannot be matched by just connecting two diodes together.
The name is your clue: a transistor and a resistor (the load) are put in series. The output signal is taken from the load resistor. A small input signal (to the third lead of the transistor) will cause the transistor to change resistance ... thus you can get a large output from a small input Amplification.
