Description. Here is the circuit diagram of an adjustable voltage regulator using IC L200.

L200 is a monolithic integrated adjustable voltage regulator IC having features like current limiting, thermal shut down, power limiting, input over voltage protection etc. Here the regulator is designed to produce an output adjustable between 2.85V to 15V at 1A.The resistors R1 and R2 determines the output voltage. The resistor R3 determines the limiting value of output current, here 1A. Capacitors C1 and C2 does filtering.Do not give more than 40V to the input on L200. Circuit diagram with Parts list.

Notes.

Assemble the circuit on a general purpose PCB. Power the circuit with 18V DC Always the input voltage must be few volts higher than the max: regulator output. Fit the IC1 with a heat sink. Output voltage can be varied by adjusting POT R2.

Design formulas. V out = 2.77 [1+(R2/R1)] Current limit (I sc)= 0.45/R3

This circuit diagram shows you how to make a 5V to 12V variable DC power supply from a fixed 5V regulator IC 7805. This is attained by adding two resistors R1 and R2 as shown in figure. When the resistors R1 and R2 are added the equation for the output voltage of 7805 becomes Vout= Vfixed + { R2 [ (V fixed/R1) + Istandby] } ,where Vfixed=5V and Istandby=Vfixed/R1.By varying the POT R2 you can adjust the output voltage between 5V and 12V. Circuit diagram.

Notes.

The circuit can be assembled on a vero board. T1 can be a 230V primary, 9V/5A secondary stepdown transformer. 7805 must be fitted with a heat sink. F1 can be a 1A fuse.

Circuit : Andy Collinson Email : Description: A variable power supply with adjustable voltage and current outputs made with the L200 regulator.

Notes Using the versatile L200 voltage regulator, this power supply has independent voltage and current limits. The mains transformer has a 12volt, 2 amp rated secondary, the primary winding should equal the electricity supply in your country, which is 240V here in the UK. The 10k control is adjusts voltage output from about 3 to 15 volts, and the 47 ohm control is the current limit. This is 10mA minimum and 2 amp maximum. Reaching the current limit will reduce the output voltage to zero. Voltage and current regulation equations can be found at this page. UPS Description This circuit is a simple form of the commercial UPS, the circuit provides a constant regulated 5 Volt output and an unregulated 12 Volt supply. In the event of electrical supply line failure the battery takes over, with no spikes on the regulated supply.

Notes This circuit can be adapted for other regulated and unregulated voltages by using different regulators and batteries. For a 15 Volt regulated supply use two 12 Volt batteries in series and a 7815 regulator. There is a lot of flexibility in this circuit. TR1 has a primary matched to the local electrical supply which is 240 Volts in the UK. The secondary winding should be rated at least 12 Volts at 2 amp, but can be higher, for example 15 Volts. FS1 is a slow blow type and protects against short circuits on the output, or indeed a faulty cell in a rechargeable battery. LED 1 will light ONLY when the electricity supply is present,

with a power failure the LED will go out and output voltage is maintained by the battery. The circuit below simulates a working circuit with mains power applied:

Between terminals VP1 and VP3 the nominal unregulated supply is available and a 5 Volt regulated supply between VP1 and VP2. Resistor R1 and D1 are the charging path for battery B1. D1 and D3 prevent LED1 being illuminated under power fail conditions. The battery is designed to be trickle charged, charging current defined as :(VP5 - 0.6 ) / R1 where VP5 is the unregulated DC power supply voltage. D2 must be included in the circuit, without D2 the battery would charge from the full supply voltage without current limit, which would cause damage and overheating of some rechargeable batteries. An electrical power outage is simulated below:

Note that in all cases the 5 Volt regulated supply is maintained constantly, whilst the unregulated supply will vary a few volts. Standby Capacity The ability to maintain the regulated supply with no electrical supply depends on the load taken from the UPS and also the Ampere hour capacity of the battery. If you were using a 7A/h 12 Volt battery and load from the 5 Volt regulator was 0.5 Amp (and no load from the unregulated supply) then the regulated supply would be maintained for around 14 hours. Greater A/h capacity batteries would provide a longer standby time, and vice versa.

As shown circuit, 4N25 optocoupler coupled pulse signal and isolation play a 89C51 microcontroller and the output part of the role of the system, so that the two current independent of each other. The output part of the chassis or earth ground connection, and 89C51 floating ground power system, not with the ground-phase AC power, so to avoid some of the power output of the impact of change on the MCU power supply, reducing the system suffered interference and improve system reliability.
