1.2V-32V @3A Variable Switching Regulator using LM317

The circuit presented here is based on LM317. Generally, LM317 is known as a linear regulator IC, but here the circuit operates as a switching regulator. This circuit operates by transferring energy from the input to the output by using a solid state switch. Power Efficiency of a...

LM317 smooths but doesn’t regulate

Michael Dunn discuss about a circuit that smooths ripple and noise but doesn't regulates the output. A well known power supply circuit is the capacitance multiplier. It doesn't regulate, but instead reduces ripple & noise while the output tracks at some fraction of the input...
