A linear voltage or current regulator provides a continuous non-pulsed supply of current or voltage. It may be fixed or adjustable, and can be put under control by a CPU/MPU. In spite of sometimes low efficiency they are popular because they provide clean noise-free DC current or voltage, as opposed to switching supplies that can be very efficient with power regulation but induce much RF noise into the outputs which need extra parts to filter out.

LM317 / linear regulator, estimate of heat capacity

Not sure if this should be a separate comment or an edit? Anyway, for my use case I have decided to go with a design where I charge a super capacitor and discharge it through the electric match throug …

LM317 / linear regulator, estimate of heat capacity

Quick question - what do you think the heat capacity of a LM317 might be? The use case is that I want to ignite e-matches, which requires are short duration high current and would prefer to just use b …
