12Vdc to 9,7.5,6 Vdc circuit This simple converter using a Zener diode and a transistor into a 9V DC 12V DC battery power to the maximum 1A. The circuit is very simple to build, and requires only 3 electronic components, resistors, zener diodes and transistors. The 2N3055 transistors, 1N4738A Zener diode or Zener voltage and the [...]

Zener Controlled Transistor Voltage Regulators By john The efficiency of Zener regulated power supply becomes very low when the load current is high. Under such conditions a Zener controlled transistor is always used for maintaining output voltage constant. Basically there are two types of Zener controlled transistor voltage regulators. They are Series Voltage Regulators Shunt [...]
