Summary
Power Supply Regulators

Regulation performance is specified in two ways. Line regulation
specifies how much the dc output changes for a given change in
regulator’s input voltage.
 VOUT 
Line regulation =  100%
  VIN 
Assume the dc input to a regulator changes by 1.0 V due to a

change in the ac line voltage. If the output changes by 1.5 mV due
to the change, what is the line regulation?
 VOUT   1.5 mV 
Line regulation =   100%   100%  0.15%
  VIN   1.0 V 
Summary
Power Supply Regulators

Load regulation specifies how much change occurs in the output
voltage for a given range of load current values, usually from no load
(NL) to full load (FL).
 V -V 
Load regulation =  NL FL 100%
 VFL 
Assume the dc output of a regulator changes from 5.00 V to 4.96 V

when the output is varies from no load to full load. What is the load
regulation?

Load regulation =  NL FL 100%   100%  0.8 %
