Hi,
In linear power supplies there is a transistor (usually darlington) that is current-controlled depending on the output voltage.
The problem is I cant seem to find the Vout - current-to-darlington-base equation.
Do I operate it in the linear region?
When Vout < Vout_desired do I saturate it?
What is the range of current in its base? (i.e. 100uA to 500uA)?
Thanks
