Variable / Adjustable DC Power Supply 1.2V – 25V using LM338K

This is variable DC power supply circuit, or we can call it adjustable DC power supply which give us a 1.2V-25V output voltage. The power supply schematic above is taken from the datasheet of regulator LM338K manufactured National Semiconductor. The circuit uses IC LM338K as the voltage regulator, so we will get the stable and… Read More »

1 – 9V Variable Desktop Power Supply

Here the variable desktop power supply which will convert a high input voltage (12V) from the SMPS / PSU of a desktop computer into small output voltage (1.25 to 9 volts). This converter will be very beneficial for electronics hobbyists. An adjustable three-pin voltage regulator chip LM317T (IC1) is applied right here to deliver the… Read More »

Power Supply Failure Alarm

This is the ‘special’ circuit design of power supply failure alarm. The vast majority of the power supply failure alarm / indicator circuits require a independent power supply for themselves. However the alarm circuit introduced right here requires no extra supply power source. It utilizes an electrolytic capacitor to hold sufficient charge, to supply power… Read More »
