Basic voltage regulator circuit using a Zener Diode in Simscape
@matlab_simulink
and Input and Output Signals view on the Scope.
@MATLAB
If you change the amplitude of the AC source to, say, 8 V from 2 V(causing the voltage to drop below 5.1 V at some points), you will see on the scope how the Zener diode loses its regulating capability when Vin<Vz, and the output waveform will begin to “mirror” the input at those troughs, mathematically proving the current equation we stated at the beginning.
