When the input voltage is higher than the output voltage, the regulator will increase the output voltage until it is equal to the input voltage. In this mode, the regulator is said to be in regulation.When the input voltage is lower than the output voltage, the regulator will reduce the output voltage to maintain a constant difference between the two voltages. If the input voltage is too high, the regulator can limit the output current, providing constant power output. This is known as the current limiting mode.In both modes, the regulator ensures that the output voltage remains steady despite changes in the input voltage. This ensures that the output devices receive the correct amount of power without damaging them.## ConclusionNCP160AFCS180T2G is a versatile and powerful low drop-out linear regulator that is suitable for a variety of semiconductor-based applications. This regulator can provide efficient output power that is low in noise and high in ripple rejection. Additionally, the built-in short-circuit protection, along with protection against over-voltage and over-temperature conditions, make this an ideal solution for any application.
