A shunt voltage regulator using a Zener diode operates by maintaining a nearly constant output voltage across a load despite variations in the input voltage or load current. The basic circuit consists of a series resistor (R_s), a Zener diode (D_Z) connected in parallel with the load, and a DC supply voltage (V_s). The series resistor limits the current flowing into the Zener diode and the
