Abstract
A shunt regulator for stepping down an input potential to an output potential, has an input for applying the input potential, an output for tapping off the output potential and a voltage drop circuit, across which the voltage difference between the input potential and the output potential drops. It is possible for the current flowing through the voltage drop circuit or its lower and/or upper limit value to be adjusted.
