Power supplies with pass transistors are linear and are not as efficient as switch-mode power supplies.
Recall: Pulse width modulation (PWM) is one wayto use a digital approach to an analog problem.

Linear Supply Troubleshooting• A shorted pass transistor produces high output
voltage.
• An open pass transistor produces no output voltage.
• Voltage error can be due to overloads, the reference voltage, the error amplifier, etc.
• IC regulators can oscillate. Check bypass capacitors.
• IC regulators are subject to RF fields.
![Page 23: Electronics Principles & Applications Fifth Edition Chapter 15 Regulated Power Supplies ©1999 Glencoe/McGraw-Hill Charles A. Schuler](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f305503460f94c4b873/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Switch-Mode Troubleshooting• May not function unless loaded (use a dummy
load).
• Use oscilloscope to view PWM waveforms.
• Frequency can be critical.
• May use an optoisolator in the feedback circuit. Disable and substitute for the feedback signal.
• Check the reference voltage.
• Check for overloads.
