Zener Diode Voltage Regulator

The figure below show us a zener regulator. The essential component is the dropping resistor R which the value given by (V-Vo)/I, where I is the desired output plus 10%. As long as the supply voltage V is constant, the current in thner current drops to zero, and we is resistor is constant and is shared between the Zener and […]
