Electronic Circuits and Diagram-Electronics Projects and Design

IC voltage regulators are versatile and relatively inexpensive and are available with fea­tures such as a programmable output, current-voltage boosting, internal short-circuit cur­rent limiting, thermal shutdown, and floating operation for high voltage applications-Voltage regulators comprise a class of widely employed ICs. Regulator IC units contain the circuitry for reference source, comparator amplifier, control device, and overload pro­tection all in a single IC. Although the internal construction of IC is somewhat different from that explained in case of discrete voltage regulator circuits, the external operation is almost the same. A power supply can be built using a transformer connected to the…

6 Volt Regulator using IC 7806 Description. Here is the elementary 6V 1A power supply circuit using 7806 IC. The 7806 three-terminal positive voltage regulator is available in the TO-220/D-PAK package making them useful in a wide range of applications. 7806  employs internal current limiting, thermal shut down and safe operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If proper heat sinking is provided, it can deliver over 1 ampere output current. Voltage Regulator Circuit Diagram with Parts List . Pin out of 7806 Notes . If 2A bridge is not available make one with four 1N 4007 diodes. Fit a…
