Working Principles

The NJM78L24A is a linear voltage regulator that uses a series pass transistor to regulate the output voltage. It operates by comparing the reference voltage with the feedback voltage obtained from a voltage divider network. The error amplifier adjusts the pass transistor's resistance to maintain a constant output voltage, compensating for changes in input voltage and load conditions.
