5V Regulated Power Supply Circuit with Over Voltage Protection

The 5V regulated power supply for TTL and 74LS series integrated circuits, has to be really precise and tolerant of voltage transients. These IC's are effortlessly damaged by short voltage spikes. A fuse will blow when its electric current rating is exceeded, but demands several hundred milliseconds to respond. This circuit will react in several microseconds, triggered when the output voltage exceeds the limit of the zener diode.

This circuit uses the crowbar method, where a thyristor is employed and short circuits the supply, causing the fuse to blow. This will take position in a few microseconds or less, and so provides considerably higher protection than an ordinary fuse. If the output voltage exceed 5.6Volt, then the zener diode will conduct, switching on the thyristor (all in some microseconds), the output voltage is therefore reduced to 0 volts and sensitive logic IC's will probably be saved. The fuse will nonetheless take just a few hundred milliseconds to blow but this just isn't significant now since the supply towards the circuit is already at zero volts and no damage can be completed. The dc input towards the regulator needs to be a few volts greater than the regulator voltage. Inside the case of a 5v regulator, I would suggest a transformer with secondary voltage of 8-10volts ac.

LM317T Voltage Regulator Circuit with Pass Transistor

This is the schematic diagram of voltage regulator circuit with pass transostor. The regulator is based regulator IC of LM317T. The LM317T output current can be raised by utilizing an additional power transistor (on circuit, it is 2N2955) to share a portion of the total current. The amount of current sharing is established with a resistor placed in series with the LM317 input and a resistor placed in series with the emitter of the pass transistor. In the above scheme design , the pass transistor will start conducting when the LM317 current reaches about 1 ampere, due to the voltage drop across the 0.7 ohm resistor. Current limiting happens at about 2 amperes for the LM317 which will drop about 1.4 volts across the 0.7 ohm resistor and make a 700 millivolt drop across the 0.3 ohm emitter resistor. Thus the total current is limited to about 2+ (.7/.3) = 4.3 amperes.

Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) 12V Battery Charger with Current Limiting

This is the circuit design of Smart Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) 12V Battery Charger featuretwith Current Limiting. The charger uses a two step process for charging SLA batteries – a current limited ‘fast’ mode followed by a constant voltage ‘float’ mode. Maximum charging current is 1A. An onboard LED indicates when the charger is in ‘fast’ mode. When the LED goes out the battery is charged and the charger has switched to ‘float’ mode.

Unregulated Dual Polarity Power Supply

This is the schematic diagram of Unregulated Dual Polarity power supply . Unlike 78xx and 79xx dual polarity regulated power sypply and LM317/LM337 dual polarity regulated power supply which have limited current output and voltage (have limited supply power), this unregulated power supply will give you more power. This kind of circuit usually used for power amplifier which need high supply power, or as high current lead acid battery charger (single polarity only). The component value is flexible refer to your needs. For example: if you need power supply for 100W amplifier, then the component value are: Transformer: 3A minimum (center tap) Diodes: 3A diode (1N5401, 1N5402, 1N5403 etc) Electrolytic capacitor: 4x minimum of 4700uF/50V (the higher is better - check the capacitor voltage, change it for higher voltage. example: use 63V capacitors for 45V power supply output.)
