This document provides design procedures for using a shunt regulator in a secondary feedback loop for an isolated converter. It discusses using the TL431 shunt regulator in conjunction with an optocoupler to provide isolation. The key steps covered are: 1) selecting an appropriate optocoupler that operates linearly for small output voltage variations, 2) designing the biasing circuit to meet power consumption budgets while providing sufficient bias current, and 3) analyzing sample schematics and waveforms to understand circuit operation under different load conditions. The goal is to help designers understand how to implement isolated feedback control using a shunt regulator.
