Voltage Divider is Incorrect Aramoe

A voltage divider cannot be used as a regulation circuit. On the other hand a voltage divider in conjunction with a transistor can regulate a load although at that point your divider is now a linear regulator.

Stabilization has no bearing on this particular conversation.

- Does anyone know where the name "Buck" comes from?

- Is it true that SMPSes were primarily designed for aviation purposes (weight etc.)?

- Why not mention Schottky diodes as useful middle ground between normal diodes and sync.rect.?
