Working Principles

The MAX5014ESA-T is a linear voltage regulator that maintains a stable output voltage regardless of variations in the input voltage. It achieves this by using a pass transistor to regulate the voltage drop across it. The regulator compares the output voltage with a reference voltage and adjusts the pass transistor accordingly to maintain the desired output voltage level.
