Shunt Voltage References
-
Analog Devices offers a broad line of shunt precision voltage references that combine excellent accuracy and temperature stability with low noise and small packages. These devices operate in a manner that is functionally equivalent to a Zener diode. The bias current must be set higher than the sum of the maximum quiescent current of the voltage reference and the maximum expected load current. Since shunt voltage references are typically biased with a resistor, the voltage reference can operate on a wide range of input voltages.

Shunt Regulators
-
These are the standard reference voltage source widely used by the feedback circuits of switching power supplies. Compared to the Zener diode, which is a discrete product, a shunt regulator has much better voltage precision because voltage control is carried out as an IC.
