A linear power supply regulates the output voltage by dropping excess voltage in a series dissipative component. They use a moderately complex regulator circuit to achieve very low load and line regulation. Linear regulated power supplies also have very little ripple and very little output noise. Typical applications of Linear regulated power supplies include but not limited to:

low noise amplifiers

signal processing

data acquisition - including sensors, multiplexers, A/D converters, and sample & hold circuits.

automatic test equipment

laboratory test equipment

control circuits

anywhere that excellent regulation and/or low ripple is required
