voltage regulator
Electrical level controller
A voltage regulator is a device that maintains a constant output voltage regardless of fluctuations in input voltage or load conditions.
In electronics, regulators protect sensitive components from power surges and drops: The voltage regulator in your car keeps the electrical system stable while the engine runs at different speeds.
They range from simple components on circuit boards to large industrial units.
