Line Regulation

Line regulation is the capability to maintain a constant output voltage level on the output channel of a power supply despite changes to the input voltage level. Line regulation is expressed as percent of change in the output voltage relative to the change in the input line voltage. This measurement is normally taken under conditions of low power dissipation to reduce the effect of average chip temperature and is typically represented as a percentage of the output voltage.

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or regulation:

    “It may be the more
    That no line of her writing have I,
    Nor a thread of her hair,
    No mark of her late time as dame in her dwelling, whereby
    I may picture her there.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “Nothing can be more real, or concern us more, than our own sentiments of pleasure and uneasiness; and if these be favourable to virtue and unfavourable to vice, no more can be requisite to the regulation of our conduct and behavior.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
