Created: 5/13/2020Last Updated:5/13/2020
Definition
- Regulated output means that the system is constantly stabilizing the output against a reference point regardless of line in and load conditions.
- Unregulated output means that the system output can vary depends on line in and load conditions.
Key difference
Regulated device has a closed loop feedback control where unregulated device has an open loop control.
Example
- Voltage regulator is a regulated output device
- Transformer is a unregulated out device.
