Power Supply Circuits

The explained variable switching power supply circuit is designed around the integrated switch mode power supply controller device Type L4960 from SGS. The main features of this switching regulator can be summarized from the following data: Main Features Input voltage range: 9-50 VDC Output voltage variable from 5 to 40 V. Maximum accessible output current […]

Although a variety of laboratory power supplies have appeared in recent times, only handful of these will provide you with the efficiency, versatility, and low cost of the design detailed in this article. In this article I have explained a highly regulated, DIY, laboratory grade power supply with dual 0-50 volt. The voltage and current […]

In this post I have explained a simple 5 V to 10 V converter circuit which can be used in TTL circuits where only 5 V is available and converting this 5 V to 10 V can be extremely useful for operating an adjacent circuit which may require a supply of around 9 V or […]

In this post I have explained how to make a high current boost converter circuit which will step up a 12 V DC to any higher level up to 30 V maximum, and at an impressive 3 amp current rate. This high current output can be further enhanced by suitably upgrading the inductor wire gauge […]

The popular 3 terminal fixed regulators available today are in the form of IC 7805, IC 7809, IC 7812, IC 7815, and IC 7824, which correspond to fixed voltage outputs of 5 V, 9 V, 12 V, 15V, and 24 V. These are called fixed voltage regulators since these ICs are able to produce excellent […]

In this post I have explained the main electrical features, pinout specifications, datasheet, and application circuit of the IC 723. The IC 723 is a general purpose, extremely versatile voltage regulator IC, which can be used for making various types of regulated power supplies such as: Main Features ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Pinout Functions Pin 1 […]
