Question

Q2: Assume a Zener diode used in the regulator circuit has the following: VZT=10 V @ IZT=24 mA ; IZK=2 mA ; IZM =80 mA, and the unregulated input source Vin=20 V .Using the given data : a- Draw the Zener characteristic curve clearly showing the parameters given above. b- Determine the minimum value for RS (RS,min)necessary to keep to keep the zener current limited to a value below IZM. Hint: Let VZ = VZT
