Problem 4: (15 Points) Your load is a microcontroller whose power pin needs 3.3V, but you only have a 5 V source available. Design a circuit that will limit the maximum load voltage to 3.3V. Load current ranges from 1 mA in standby to 8 mA when the microcontroller is operating. The Zener needs a minimum of 500 uA to regulate.
a)Design Rbias for your circuit to work correctly
b)State the Zener diode type number(s) you need (from Lecture 30 slide)
