Abstract
Voltage regulators, the most common application of Zener diodes, are included in many electronic devices we use in our daily lives. Therefore, students need to learn about regulators to understand the place of Zener diodes in modern electronic technologies. This study focuses on a microcontroller-based experiment that can be used to teach line and load regulation with real-time graphics. The main advantage of the designed experiment over its classical equivalent is its ability to display autonomous and real-time data display. It also eliminates the problem of determining the load resistance, which is the main difficulty of the classical experiment.
