The zener diode is neither a voltage amplifier nor a current limiting device but can be used in oscillator circuits to supply a constant output voltage.

What are the internal parts of an automatic voltage regulator?

An automatic voltage regulator (AVR) typically consists of several key internal components, including a voltage sensing circuit, an error amplifier, a control circuit, and a power output stage. The voltage sensing circuit monitors the output voltage and compares it to a reference voltage. The error amplifier processes the difference, and the control circuit adjusts the output to maintain the desired voltage level. The power output stage delivers the necessary current to stabilize the voltage supply.


What is voltage follower?

A voltage buffer amplifier is used to transfer a voltage from a first circuit, having a high output impedance level, to a second circuit with a low input impedance level.If the voltage is transferred unchanged (the voltage gain Av is 1), the amplifier is a unity gain buffer; also known as a voltage follower because the output voltage follows or tracks the input voltage. Although the voltage gain of a voltage buffer amplifier may be (approximately) unity, it usually provides considerable current gain and thus power gain


What is meant by swamped amplifier?

A swamped amplifier has a resistance tied to the emitter of the NPN transistor. Swamping the amplifier reduces the voltage gain. When an amplifier is swamped the voltage gain to the output is less dependent on the load. This helps to balance the output and protect the circuit when different loads might be applied.
