In this post we are going to learn about one super old but gold IC called LM7912 or simply IC 7912. This one is not positive regulator like 7805 or 7812, but it is negative regulator which means it gives -12V output and not +12V. If you are making op-amp circuits or dual power supply […]

4 Solid-State Car Alternator Regulator Circuits Explored
The 4 simple car voltage current regulator circuits I have explained below is created as a immediate alternative to any standard regulator and, although developed principally for a dynamo it will function equally effectively with an alternator. If the functioning of a traditional car alternator voltage regulator is analyzed, we find it amazing that these […]
Step-Down Adjustable Voltage, Current Regulator Circuit using LM2673
The LM2673 series of regulators is a collection of monolithic integrated circuits that are designed to provide all the active functions needed for making a step-down, or buck converter, switching regulator circuit. This means that they are capable of driving loads of up to 3 amps while maintaining excellent line and load regulation characteristics. One […]
24V to 12V DC Converter Circuit [using Switching Regulator]
The DC to DC converter circuit described below can be used to convert a 24 V DC source into a 12 V DC output with high efficiency. Meaning, the circuit will allow to acquire a 12 V DC from a 24 V DC source with negligible power loss. Being a switching regulator, this circuit is […]
1A Step-Down Voltage Regulator Circuit – Switched Mode 78XX Alternative
You will be amazed with the features offered by this outstanding voltage regulator IC. As the name refers to, the output from this series of ICs is not only regulated and stabilized but is in the form of switched pulses at very high frequencies. Enhanced Version of the Popular 78XX ICs These ICs may be […]
15V 10 Amp Voltage Regulator Circuit Using IC LM196
In the following post I have explained a linear voltage regulator power supply circuit using the IC LM196 which is capable of handling up to 10 amps of current and is able to provide a variable voltage right from 1.25V to 15V DC. About the IC LM196 or LM396 The IC LM 196 is single […]
