Z1 maintains the base of TR1 at a constant potential established by its breakdown voltage. The d.c. output taken at the emitter is thus maintained at 0.6 V below the zener voltage. Changes in the output level produce changes in the b\u2013e bias of the transistor in such a way as to keep the output constant. For higher load currents, a Darlington pair may be used, normally as an IC package. Sensitivity and response may be improved by using an error detector as shown in Figure 15.3. TR1 is the normal series regulator. TR2 compares a portion of the output voltage with the reference voltage of e zener. Changes in the output level are  <\/p><div class=\"jluwd6a0dc91bd2eee\" ><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-0778475562755157\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x600 television-and-video -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:600px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0778475562755157\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6549443290\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.jluwd6a0dc91bd2eee {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.jluwd6a0dc91bd2eee {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.jluwd6a0dc91bd2eee {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.jluwd6a0dc91bd2eee {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.jluwd6a0dc91bd2eee {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"sbfhw6a0dc91bd2442\" ><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\tatOptions = {\n\t\t'key' : '0c1eb4c533eaedb7b996f49a5a4983a9',\n\t\t'format' : 'iframe',\n\t\t'height' : 300,\n\t\t'width' : 160,\n\t\t'params' : {}\n\t};\n<\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/www.highperformanceformat.com\/0c1eb4c533eaedb7b996f49a5a4983a9\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.sbfhw6a0dc91bd2442 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.sbfhw6a0dc91bd2442 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.sbfhw6a0dc91bd2442 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.sbfhw6a0dc91bd2442 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.sbfhw6a0dc91bd2442 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-7_0aN8LyP7o\/VeQu8bJPAWI\/AAAAAAAB5Xo\/N0HzGLYNmY8\/s1600-h\/DC-power-generation-00132.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"DC power generation-0013\" border=\"0\" alt=\"DC power generation-0013\" src=\"http:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-byVjxnktqvA\/VeQvNbu67UI\/AAAAAAAB5YY\/tWuRI-CG-JA\/DC-power-generation-0013_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800\" width=\"469\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">amplified and fed into the base of TR1, which maintains the output con- stant.
