Shunt regulator re-moves virtually all AC line ripple without using large capacitor, making it ideal for audio applications where freedom from ripple is more important than precise supply voltage level. Circuit cannot be damaged by short-circuits. Tr3 may be power transistor or Darlington.-P. S. Bright, Ripple Eliminator, Wireless World, April 1977, p 62.

Series regulator uses opamp as differential amplifier and extra transistor Q2 as current limiter. When 100 mA is drawn, 0.6 V is developed across R2 to make Q2 conduct, pulling al base in negative direction. This action prevents excessive current from being passed by Q1.-H. Olson, Power-Supply Servicing, Ham Radio, Nov. 1976, p 44-50. (View)

Basic zener-opamp regulator output of 6.6V is scaled up to maximum of 15 V, adjusted with R4, by adding buffer opamp A2, and current-hoosting transistors. Q2 provides short-circuit protection by sensing load current through R7. Large output capacitor C1, maintains low output impedance at high frequencies where gain of A2, falls off.-W. G.
