Power Supply Adapter

Here the simple 5V regulated power supply circuit which featured overvolatage protection. The circuit work: This circuit uses the crowbar method, where a thyristor is employed and short circuits the supply, causing the fuse to blow. This will take place in a few microseconds or less, and so offers much greater protection than an ordinary fuse. If the output voltage exceed 5.6Volt, then the zener diode will conduct, switching on the thyristor (all in a few microseconds), the output voltage is therefore reduced to 0 volts and sensitive logic IC's will be saved. The fuse will still take a few hundred milliseconds to blow but this is not important now because the supply to the circuit is already at zero volts and no damage can be done. The dc input to the regulator needs to be a few volts higher than the regulator voltage. Read more circuit explanation at http://www.zen22142.zen.co.uk/Circuits/Power/overvolt.htm

This is the circuit diagram of 6VDC to 12VDC Converter. With this circuit , you can doubled the input voltage of 6V DC to become 12V DC output voltage. Component Parts : R1, R4 = 2.2K R2, R3 = 4.7K R5 = 1K R6 = 1.5K R7 = 33K R8 = 10K C1,C2 = 0.1uF C3 = 470uF/25V D1 = 1N914 D2 = 1N4004 D3 = 12V 400mW Zener Diode Q1, Q2, Q4 = BC547 Q3 = BD679 L1 See Notes Circuit Notes : 1. L1 is a custom inductor wound with about 80 turns of 0.5mm magnet wire around a toroidal core with a 40mm outside diameter. 2. Different values of D3 can be used to get different output voltages from about 0.6V to around 30V. Note that at higher voltages the circuit might not perform as well and may not produce as much current. You may also need to use a larger C3 for higher voltages and/or higher currents. 3. You can use a larger value for capacitor C3 to provide better filtering. 4. The circuit will require about 2A from the 6V supply to provide the full 800mA at 12V. 6VDC to 12VDV Converter circuit, source: http:/...

Here's a circuit diagram of the power supply and battery charger. There are two parts in this circuit, ie the battery charger with a fixed output voltage, which is 5VDC. Another part is the regulated power supply that can be regulated output voltage between 2-9 volts. source: http://www.electronics-lab.com

Here the another variable power supply which have adjustabled output voltage from 6-12 DC volt. Parts List: T1 = 115[220]/8 VAC transformer. Q1 = 2N1613, NTE128, or substitute. Use heatsink! BR1 = 40V, 4A. (Check max current of your mini-drill and add 2A) R1 = 470 ohm, 5% R2 = 1K, 5% P1 = potentiometer, 10K C1 = 1000uF, 25V Notes: C1 filters the noise and spikes off the AC. If you find the circuit output too noisy add another electrolytic capacitor over the output terminals. Value can be between 10 and 100uF/25V. The output voltage is variable with the 10K-potentiometer. The transformer input voltage refer to your home power source.
