Hello all. I'm new to electronics so pleas bear with me.
AFAIK, a voltage regulator has three pins, one for the input voltage (+), one for ground (-) and the third for the output voltage that needs to be regulated.
If the voltage regulator exists in a circuit the reference anode will become pin no. 3 of the voltage regulator while the ground (pin no 2) will become the cathode. Is my theory correct?
I'm referring to the picture at http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10904&d=1247957116.
Thanks!
