DiscussionofTheory:
The regulated dc power supply is designed to be use in application such as
poweringoperationalamplifier,pushpull,logiccircuits,anddefinitionwhereplusand
minus are required to track with in significant error and in application where three
independent power supplies housed in a single package represent an operating
convenience.
