LM317 variable power supply

A truly timeless circuit. LM317 is a versatile and highly efficient 1.2-37V voltage regulator that can provide up to 1.5A of current with a large heat sink. Its ideal for just about any application. This was my first workbench power supply and I still use it.

Since LM317 is protected against short-circuit, no fuse is necessary. Thanks to automatic thermal shutdown, it will turn off if heating excessively. All in all, a very powerful (and affordable!) package, indeed.

Although LM317 is capable of delivering up to 37V, the circuit pictured here is limited to 25V for the sake of safety and simplicity. Any higher output voltage would require additional components and a larger heat sink.

Make sure that the input voltage is at least a couple of Volts higher than the desired output. Its ok to use a trimmer if youre building a fixed-voltage supply.Problems:Follow all the safety precautions when working with mains voltage. Insulate all connections on the transformer.

Possible uses:Variable workbench power supply, fixed-voltage supply... Just about any possible application when no more than 1.5A is necessary.

Lead Acid Battery Charger LM317

Lead Acid Battery Charger circuit is highly recommended to recharge battery. And recommended that maximum voltage 24V 7A battery, so you can recharge a battery simultaneously. Battery Charger has been little use of several components such as diodes, electrolytic capacitors, transistors, resistors, and also for strengthening of the voltage and current stresses. And also do not forget to lowering electric voltage 220V to 20V-35V 5-10 Ampere suitable for Lead Acid Battery Charger circuit.
for Figure Schematic circuit Lead Acid Battery Charger, you can see below :


List of components for the circuit Lead Acid battery:

R1               = 1Ω 2w
R2               = 100Ω
R3               = 220Ω
R4               = 10KΩ Trim
D1 - D5       = IN4004
Q1               = BC547
IC 1             = LM317
C1 - C2       = 1000µF 50V
C3               = 470µF 50V

Transformer I mentioned above can use the 5A - 10A with a secondary voltage of about 20Volt-35Volt AC. My advice to IC please be cooler, because when the circuit and well even IC LM317 works it causes IC hot. Also to assemble the components using PCB (Printed works Circuit Board) qualified with a good track, as well as the components that will be used not forget to check back whether good or not, so it will also produce good results.

Build a Car Voltage Regulator Circuit Using LM317

The car cigarette lighter socket does not only light cigarettes, but can be utilized as an electrical channel for powering tools to work on the car such as laptops and other electronic devices. The following circuit diagram shows a way of powering a two-way mobile radio using the LM317T voltage regulator.

The LM317T is an adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator that efficiently provides a load current of 1.5 Amps over an output range of 1.2 V and 37 V. With reference to the circuit, it can accept 14 volts without any hassle and the voltage can be controlled easily with the use of a potentiometer, a 3-terminal resister with sliding contact. The whole circuit will contain the following components:


 Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Resistor 1 (R1): 270 ohms
Resistor 2 (R2): 2K carbon potentiometer
Capacitor 1 (C1): 100nF
Capacitor 2 (C2): 1uF tantalum
LM317T Voltage Regulator
Heat Sink
DC Power Jacks
Green LED: Power
Red LED: Over Voltage
Zener Diode: over voltage LED switch

The zener diode switches on the over voltage LED if the voltage passing through is larger than the breakdown or preset voltage. The use of zener diode permits a constant amount of voltage and can be very beneficial for devices that inputs the same amount of voltage.

LM317T is cheaply available in the market and is very simple to integrate into several energy system to supply a maximum current or voltage.

LM317 Dispaly Intensity Controller Circuit

  1. When it detects a relatively high light intensity, the based and emitter voltage of T2 increase When the base voltage of Tz exceeds 2.7 Vj R4 limits the emitter voltage to 3.9V due to the constant current of 5.7 mA.
  2. This causes the voltage at the emitter of this pnp darlington transistor to be about LZVZ The voltage across Rs is the reference potential, 1.25 W of the Type LM3l7 regulator, so that lies about 5.7 mA, and the output voltage, UO, of the circuit is when T1 detects darkness.
  3. The maxi- mum output current is of the order of 700 mA when IC1 is adequately cooled. The input voltage range of the circuit is 8 to 15 VC
  4. This is a light dependent voltage source that regulates the supply to 7-segment dis- plays in accordance with the intensity of ambient light.
  5. The sensitivity of the regulator is adjustable with P1.
  6. T2 no longer conducts and the output voltage of the circuit is 5.7 L because the total resistance between the regulator output and ground is Rs+Ra+R4= 1,000 Q, and the current through it is still 5.7 mA.
  7. The regulating action is positive, a higher ambient light intensity results in the circuit raising the supply voltage to the displays. Phototransistor T1 does not conduct when it detects darkness, and the base of T2 is therefore grounded via R2 and Pt 
LM317 Dispaly Intensity Controller Circuit is shown below:
