Yes and yes, depending on what you want to accomplish. In your top drawing the voltage regulator will not start working until the input voltage gets greater than VZ + V Reg. In your lower drawing the Zener protects the voltage regulator from input voltages higher than the Zener diode voltage.Could any body tell what's the difference to use zener diode in series or parallel?
