The KA78XX series regulators operate on the principle of a fixed voltage drop across a series resistor that is in turn supplied by an unregulated DC input voltage. The output voltage is set by an internal reference voltage that is compared to a fraction of the output voltage by a feedback circuit. Any changes in the output voltage will be detected and adjusted by the feedback circuit to maintain a constant output voltage.
