Regulated, High Current Power Supply Circuit
The circuit I have explained below can be used for applications that require stringent voltage regulations and ripple rejection criteria. The transistor pair are configured such that all residual ripple factor are perfectly rectified. Circuit Operation The circuit below shows a simple way of acquiring a perfectly regulated and stabilized high current DC voltage output using ordinary transistors. The circuit […]
4 Simple Transformerless Power Supply Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained 4 easy to build, compact simple transformerless power supply circuits. All the circuits presented here are built using capacitive reactance theory for stepping down the input AC mains voltage. All the designs presented here work independently without any transformer, or no transformer. The Transformerless Power Supply Concept As the […]
How to Use LM317 for Making a Variable Power Supply Circuit
In this post I will elaborately explain how to build a simple LM317 based adjustable power supply circuit using minimum number of external components. As the name suggests a variable power supply circuit provides the user with a range of linearly varying output voltages through a manually controlled potentiometer rotation. A LM317 is a versatile […]
