This high accuracy also places stringent requirements on the production and testing processes of high-precision electronic levels. A ±6V DC linear regulated power supply is used to power the testing phase of the high-precision electronic level. Electronic levels must undergo prolonged testing to prove their reliability, thus requiring a regulated power supply to provide a stable voltage over a long period. Furthermore, the testing process often involves simultaneously testing multiple instruments, necessitating a large current output from the regulated power supply to meet the power demands of the testing phase. Simultaneously, the stability of the regulated power supply's output voltage directly affects the accuracy and reliability of the electronic level's test results. In practical applications, switching power supplies are typically used as DC power sources. However, the output voltage of switching power supplies contains ripple signals of 10~100kHz and 50~200mV, which significantly interfere with the test results of high-precision electronic levels.

The negative terminal of diode D21 is connected to pin 3 of the three-terminal regulator U2 and the base of transistor Q21. Pin 2 of the three-terminal regulator U2 is connected to one end of rheostat R21, one end of resistor R22, the negative terminal of capacitor C22, and the negative terminal of diode D22. Pin 3 of the three-terminal regulator U2 is connected to the other end of resistor R22, the positive terminal of diode D22, and one end of resistor R23. The other end of resistor R23 is connected to the emitter of transistor Q21. The other end of rheostat R21 is connected to the other end of rheostat R11. The positive terminal of capacitor C22 is connected to the negative terminal of capacitor C12.

[0011] Thus, the negative voltage regulator circuit generates a negative voltage output based on the adjustable three-terminal regulator U2. It uses a transient suppression diode D21 to suppress the surge current during power switching and protect the regulator. It also uses a PNP power transistor Q21 to improve the power supply's output capability.
