Working Principles

The SC2903DR2G is a linear voltage regulator that uses a pass transistor to regulate the output voltage. It operates by comparing the reference voltage with the feedback voltage obtained from a voltage divider connected to the output. The pass transistor adjusts its resistance to maintain a constant output voltage, compensating for changes in load and input voltage.
