Learn in this video how to easily calculate a Zener Diode as a Voltage Regulator! The Zener Diode is a very useful component for protecting circuits, regulating voltage, defining a reference voltage, among other applications. As a voltage regulator, it has the advantage of being easy to configure, but this configuration needs to be analyzed carefully to avoid making mistakes when sizing the Voltage Division Resistor and the Zener Diode itself. So, to use the Zener Diode as a Voltage Regulator, you need to keep in mind that not all applications will be possible without a certain cost, for example: high-power resistors may be necessary! So follow the video step-by-step on how to calculate this circuit and avoid making mistakes when sizing the components!
