Principle and operation of shunt voltage regulators.
- Estimated study time: 60 minutes
Study resources
- Voltage regulator (Wikipedia) (Article) — Explains why an unregulated DC supply's output varies with load and input-line changes, and how a voltage regulator holds the output steady, including series and shunt regulator topologies.
- Zener Diode: Definition, Symbol, Working Principle & Uses (Vedantu) (Article) — Explains what a Zener diode is, how it is heavily doped to give a sharp, well-defined reverse breakdown (Zener) voltage, and how this is exploited for voltage regulation.
