What does a voltage regulator do? (1 - Regulators)

A voltage regulator is used to stabilize DC voltages and is important for designing power supplies. Here I will introduce shunt regulators and series regulators.

The only thing better than watching professor Aaron's videos would be a student in his classes.

Is an LM7805, for example, a combination of the two types in one package?

[@andymouse]

This is a great question and I don't know, but maybe yes as they can be used as constant current supplies as well hopefully we will find out ! Merry Christmas !

almost all the regulators are rated at around 40v input and 32 to 35 v output. Only a couple are with 100 / 120 v rating and they are extremely difficult to get in retail market. Why are they made at 40v rating ? why not 100 V ? or what is the difficulty in making a 100v adjustable regulator ?
