In case you wanted to achieve a fixed 12v regulated power supply the same configuration could be applied for getting the required results as shown below.
Ic regulated power supply circuit diagram.
When there is quite a distance in cms from the ic to the filter capacitor of the unregulated power supply there may occur unwanted oscillations within the ic due to lead inductances within the circuit.
You can design your own voltage regulator circuit but it s far too easy to buy one of the many available integrated circuit ic voltage regulators.
In the above diagram we can see how an ordinary 7805 regulator ic could be used for creating a fixed 5v regulated output.
Simply said it is a power supply that can adjust the output voltage or current.
The figure above shows the application of lm340 ic as a voltage regulator.
230v 12v step down transformer bridge rectifier or 4 pn diodes 1n4007 1a fuse 1000μf capacitor 7805 voltage regulator ic 0 22μf capacitor 0 1μf capacitor 1n4007 diode.
Pins 1 2 and 3 are the input output and ground.
It will keep a stable voltage when it has any load.
Nowadays all the power supplies use ic s to reduce ripples enhance voltage regulation and for widened control options.
Voltage regulator ics are inexpensive under two dollars and with just three pins to connect easy to.
Transistor variable power supply 1a 0 30v.
Adjustable power supply circuit.
Making a fixed 12v regulator circuit.
What is a variable power supply.
A power supply that incorporates a voltage regulator is called a regulated power supply.
