Shunt regulator is equivalent with zener diode regulator, where you can connect the circuit in series with a resistor and tap the output at the junction. With LM10, we can build more stable regulator (compared to zener diode version). Here … Continue reading →

As long as we have a stable voltage reference, a stable voltage source can be produced by amplifying the reference. LM10 provide both the reference and the amplifier, so it need no additional external components to build such system. Here … Continue reading →

Buffering for the zener is provided by the impedance matching and current amplifying characteristics of the emitter follower and draw less current from it. To a Zener regulator, it’s a useful adjunct. The capacitor on the right circuit is used … Continue reading →
