#110580 - Read again my calculation example
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Sun said:
I was thinking of using a 2K ohm connected to the +15V supply in series with the 1K ohm connected to ground. This should idealy give me a 5V drop across the 1K resistor and hence the the 4.7V zener in parallel with it.

With these resistor values it can not work! Please read again how I calculated the upper resistor value, then you will notice, that in your calculation neither a current through the TTL chip nor through the zener can flow!

Also, it's not useful to neglect the cap in parallel to the zener. Remember, you have to deal with high frequency noise resulting from the spiky supply currents of TTL chip. So, why not using this additional cap to improve supply decoupling??

Again, why not using a simple 7805?
