$begingroup$ @PICyourBrain, they just use an ordinary diode, not a Zener, because they are not clipping the voltage through a reverse-biased zener diode to GND, but rather they are clamping the voltage through a forward-biased ordinary diode to Vcc. This tiny current to Vcc just helps to power the whole circuit (anything drawing from …
5.19: Charging a Capacitor Through a Resistor
The resistance of a resistor-capacitor combination is reduced to one-third of its initial value. What must be done to the capacitance, in order that the time constant of the circuit remains unchanged? ... Two wires, A and B, and a variable resistor, R, are connected in series to a battery.

where P is the power dissipated by the resistor in watts, I is the current flowing through the resistor in amperes, and V is the voltage drop across the resistor in volts. For example, if a voltage of V=100 volts is applied across a resistor with resistance R=20 Ω, the power dissipated by the resistor will be P=V²/R=(100)²/(20)=500 mW or ...

Capacitors in Series
You will recall that a series circuit provides only one route for the current to flow between two points in a circuit, so for example the diagram below shows a resistor in series with a capacitor between the points A and B. The total impedance (resistance) of this circuit is the contribution from both the capacitor and resistor.

Figure 8.2.5 : A variable capacitor. For large capacitors, the capacitance value and voltage rating are usually printed directly on the case. Some capacitors use "MFD" which stands for "microfarads". While a capacitor color code exists, rather like the resistor color code, it has generally fallen out of favor.

The combination of a resistor and capacitor connected in series to an AC source is called a series RC circuit. Figure 1 shows a resistor and pure or ideal capacitor connected in series with an AC voltage source. The current flow in the circuit causes voltage drops to be produced across the capacitor and the resistor.
