[Engineering Information] What is a shunt regulator? page has been published.

A shunt regulator is a type of linear regulator that keeps the voltage constant, and can create a stable voltage from an unstable input voltage. Basic knowledge of shunt regulators is explained in an easy-to-understand manner using a block diagram. Also an easy-to-understand table of MinebeaMitsumi's shunt regulator lineup is available to help you choose the most suitable product.
