A major consideration for the use of a switching regulator power supply over a linear regulator is:
A. The switching regulator has better regulation.
B. The linear regulator does not require a transformer to step down AC line voltages to a usable level.
C. The switching regulator can be used in nearly all applications requiring regulated voltage.
D. The overall efficiency of a switching regulator is much higher than a linear power supply.
