Power Supplies: LM317 Based Power Supply Circuits

LM317 Power Supplies. Build a power supply with the LM317 IC.

An extremely simple and cheap DC power supply with variable voltage (1.2-25 Volts) control. The circuit uses an LM317 integrated voltage regulator Ic.

A very basic power supply that can be adjusted over a range of about 1.5 to 35 volts DC. If you add a heat sink (included), you can run it as hot as 2 Amps output; otherwise about 60 mA @ 12 volts. This is a text book circuit using an LM317, which is a 3
