This simple low-cost DC power supply circuit provides very stable  DC voltage (adjustable) from 1.2V to 24V. The use of LM317T regulator IC simplifies the circuit by reducing the number of required external components. The total parts count is less than 10

The maximum output current is 1A

You may use it to power your electronic projects that requires stable DC supply.

 

 

FEATURES :
OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE: 1.2 TO 24V

 
0.1% LINE AND LOAD REGULATION
BUILT-IN PROTECTIONS:  CURRENT LIMITING, THERMAL SHUTDOWN AND SOA CONTROL

Equation for calculation of output voltage:
Vout =1.25 x ( 1+ VR1/(R3+R4) )
where
R3 =470Ω,  R4= 56Ω &  VR1 adjustable from 0 ~ 10KΩ

Eg.:
VR1=0
Ω when it's fully counter-clockwise,  Output voltage =  1.25x(1+0/(470+56)) = 1.25V

VR1=10K Ω when it's fully  clockwise,  Output voltage =  1.25x(1+10,000/(470+56)) = 1.25x(1+19) = 25V
