Features:

  • AC – DC Conversion
  • Double output voltages (Positive – Ground – Negative)
  • Adjustable positive and negative rails
  • Just a Single-Output AC transformer
  • Output noise (20MHz-BWL, no load): Around 1.12mVpp 
  • Low noise and stable outputs (ideal to power Opamps)
  • Output Voltage: +/-1.25V to +/-25V 
  • Maximum output current: 300mA to 500mA 
  • Cheap and easy to solder (all component packages are DIP)


A double output low noise power supply is an essential tool for any electronics enthusiast. There are many circumstances that a double-output power supply is necessary such as designing pre-amplifiers and powering OPAMPs. In this article, we are going to build a linear power supply that a user can adjust its positive and negative rails independently. Moreover, just an ordinary single-output AC transformer is used at the input.
