Ul, an LM317 adjustable regulator provides short-circuit protection and automatic current limiting at 1.5 A. The input voltage to the regulator is supplied by DBl, a 4-A 100 PIV full-wave bridge rectifier. Capacitor Cl provides initial filtering. Ul.... -
The circuit powers the load via the regulator"s input instead of its output. Because the regulator"s output sees constant dummy load R1, it tries to consume a constant amount of current, no matter what the voltage across the actual load really is. Hence,.... -
The variable voltage regulator lets you adjust the output voltage of a fixed de power supply between 1.2 and 37 V de, and will supply the output current in excess of 1.5 A. The circuit incorporates an LM117K three-terminal adjustable output positive.... -
This circuit uses two comparator pairs from an LM339N quad comparator; one pair drives the yellow positive (+)and negative (-)indicators, the other jointly drives the red warn LED3. The circuit draws its power from the unregulated portion of the power.... -
This circuit shows a typical over/under-voltage fault monitor for a single supply. The upper trip points, controlling OUT 1, are centered on 5.5 V with 100 mY of hysteresis Wu = 5.55 V, "L = 5.45 V); and the lower trip points, controlling OUT 2, are.... -
This circuit provides accurate full-wave rectification. The output impedance is low for both input polarities, and the errors are small at all signal levels. Note that the output will not sink heavy currents, except a small amount through the 10-K!J.... -
817V The outputs in this circuit are independently variable and can be loaded unsymmetrically. The output voltage remains constant, irrespective of load and changes. By varying potentiometers R2 or R6, the output voltages can be conveniently set..... -
In this application, the Vl-7660 is connected as a voltage splitter. Note that the normal output pin is connected to ground and the normal ground pin is used as the output. The switches that allow the charge pumping are bidirectional; therefore, charge.... -
Ul is a dual voltage comparator with open collector outputs. The A side is an oscillator operating at 100kHz, and the B side is part of the regulation circuit that compares a fraction of the output voltage to a reference generated by zener diode D2. The.... -
This converter delivers up to 50 mA from a 6-V battery with 78% efficiency. This flyback converter functions by feedback-controlling the frequency of inductive flyback events. The inductor"s output, rectified and filtered to de, biases the feedback loop to.... -
This nonisolated, unregulated, minimum component converter fills the void between low-power zener regulation and the higher power use of a 60-Hz input transformer. It is intended for use where)"er a nonisolated supply can be used safely. The circuit.... -
The buck-boost configurationnf the MAX634 is well suited for dual output de-de converters. Only a second winding on the inductor is needed. Typically, this second winding is bifilar-primary and secondary are wound simultaneously using two wires in.... -
Many devices operate from a car"s 12-V electrical system. Some require 12 V; others require some lesser voltage. An automobile battery"s output can vary from 12 to 13.8 V under normal circumstances. The load requirements of the device might vary. This.... -
Regulation is provided by taking the rectified output of the sense winding and applying it as a bias to the base of Q2 via zener Dl. The collector of Q2 then removes drive from the gate of Ql. Therefore, if the . output voltage should increase, Q2 removes.... -
