This reguator circuit is
designed for general purpose use. Advantages of the circuit are first
the voltage can be adjusted from 0V to greater and second it does not
require a double sided secondary winding transformer. For high voltage outputs you can use L146 or alternatively if you need lower voltage outputs you can use IC 723.
L146 Variable Voltage Regulator Circuit |
Regulation voltage for both integrated circuit is at least 2V. R3, R4, R5 and R6 resistors prevent this limitation and keep the output voltage at 0 level with the help of P2 potentiometer. If the input voltage is less than required, this resistors provides sufficient potential between 4 and 5 numbered pins.
