Reverse Breakdown: The voltage regulator is in reverse breakdown, within a certain,current range (or within a certain power loss range).
Eliminating The Distribution Problems: These regulators can provide local on‑card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation.
Indestructible: Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut‑down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible.
Fixed Voltage Regulators: Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents.
Application: The terminal voltage is almost constant, showing a voltage regulation characteristic, so it is widely used in a regulated power supply and limiting circuit.
