text: Similarly, a diode can regulate voltage by serving as a clipper or a limiter — a specialized purpose that caps the voltage that can pass through it at a certain point.
text: If we reversed the polarity of the diode in our single-diode regulator circuit and increased the power supply voltage to the point where the diode “broke down” (that is, it could no longer withstand the reverse-bias voltage impressed across it), the diode would similarly regulate the voltage at that breakdown point, not allowing it to increase further.
