Regulator

Introduction
In automatic control, a regulator is a device which has the function of maintaining a designated characteristic. It performs the activity of managing or maintaining a range of values in an electronic equipment. The measurable property of a device is managed closely by specified conditions or an advance set value; or it can be a variable according to a predetermined arrangement scheme. It can be used generally to connote any set of various controls or devices for regulating or controlling items. Examples are a voltage regulator, a switching regulator, and a multiple output regulator. Regulators can be designed to control anything from voltages or currents, to light or electricity. Speed can be regulated by electronic, mechanical, or electro-mechanical means.
