1. A shunt regulator for stepping down an input potential to an output potential, the shunt regulator comprising:
- an input terminal for applying the input potential;
an output terminal for tapping off the output potential; and
a voltage drop circuit coupled between the input terminal and the output terminal and across which, during operation of the shunt regulator, the voltage difference between the input potential and the output potential drops, a current flowing through the voltage drop circuit or its limit value being adjustable.

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.
