Voltage regulator is used to provide a desired output voltage also called regulated output voltage which is necessary for the electronic products in this modern technology era. This report describes the knowledge and learning process of the entire project which includes the design and implementation of selected types of voltage regulators for power supply. Tow common types, linear and switching regulators are being researched, software simulated, hardware implemented and comparing the experiment results with the simulated results and theoretical results. Linear regulators being researched and implemented are series and shunt voltage regulator through the utilization Zener diodes characteristics and fixed and variable voltage regulator through the utilization of integrated chips, LM317 and LM7805. Switching regulators being researched and implemented are buck converter, boost converter and buck-boost converter through the utilization of MC34063A microchip. MultiSIM and LTSpice XVII free simulation software are used to simulate the researched circuits and results are recorded for the report.
