13 8V 20A DC Power Supply
The following DC Power supply circuit is a linear power supply (using transformer). The voltage output of 13.8V power supply is highly regulated, can be adjusted in the moderate range, at up to 20A continuous current. This power supply is suitable for use for amateur radio equipment. DC Power supply is easily constructed and suitable for heavy duty because it is very efficient, small and lightweight.
In the DC power supply presented here, the pass transistors are located in the negative rail and connected in common-emitter configuration rather than as emitter-followers. Thanks to this, the regulator’s minimum voltage drop is extremely low, only about 0.1V for the transistors plus 0.5V for the equalizing resistors.
DC Power Supply Circuit
The other advantage is that the collectors are directly connected to the negative pole of the power supply’s output, which in most applications is grounded. That means that no insulation is required between the transistors and the grounded power supply cabinet! This eases the cooling very considerably. Thanks to the low regulator drop, a low cost 25V filter capacitor can be used.
Some Notes of DC Power Supply Circuit
- Use a transformer for the primary voltage you need. The 3A fuse is for 220 or 240V primaries. If you use something in the neighborhood of 110V, use a 6A fuse.
- The rather high transformer rating of 35A accounts for the losses that occur due to the capacitive input filter. If your transformer is rated for capacitive input, then a 25A value is enough.
- Of course you can make up C1 by placing several smaller capacitors in parallel. Likewise, the 0.1 Ohm, 5 Watt resistors can be made up by several in parallel, for example by 5 resistors of 0.5 Ohm, 1 Watt each.
- The LM336Z-5.0 voltage reference IC should not be replaced by a zener diode. Zeners are not nearly as stable. A different voltage reference IC can of course be used, if R2 and R3 are modified for the different voltage.
- D1 and Q2 through Q6 need heatsinking. Only Q2 needs insulation. D1 dissipates up to 60W, Q2 up to 25W, while the pass transistors dissipate up to 30W each in normal use, but may reach a level of 130W during short circuit! Take this into account when choosing the heat sink!
- R5 exists only to make sure that the transistors can actually be driven off. The 741 is not a single-supply operational amplifier, so it cannot drive its output very low. If a true single-supply opamp is used, then R5 becomes unnecessary.

Operational Amplifiers with Power Supply
The diagram of a sound amplifier, which operates with a single power supply shown in Figure 16. In this circuit one end of the signal source connected to the right input terminal of the operational amplifier, and the other end connected to the bias voltage VBias.
The load resistance (RL) and R1 also associated with the bias voltage. The voltage at the right input terminal, VP, is equal to:
The voltage at the reverse input terminal VN, is equal to:
Vd = 0 we have:
VN = VP = Vin + VBias
without an input signal
Vin = 0, so therefore
Vn = Vp = VBias
The bias voltage (VBias) is typically equal to half the voltage of the power supply. The output voltage of this amplifier can be calculated as follows:
The current I1, which flows through the resistor R1, is approximately equal to the current I2, which flows through the resistor R2, and thus I1 = I2. The current flowing through R1 is equal to the difference voltage across R1 divided by the value of R1, ie

In this circuit VB is the voltage applied to the right end of R1, and VA is the voltage applied to the left end of R1.

Similarly, the current I2 flowing through the resistor R2, is equal to the difference voltage across the R2.






So in the absence of an input signal, ie when VIN = 0, the above equation becomes

So in the absence of an input signal, the input terminals and the output terminal of the operational amplifier have the same voltage (VBias).
If an input voltage 2 volts peak to peak, is applied to the amplifier shown in Figure 16, R1 = R2, and VCC = 10V, then when the input signal is at the positive peak value of +1V, the output voltage will be:


When the input signal changes is at its highest negative value -1V, then the output voltage equals:

So when the input signal changes from -1V to +1V, the output voltage varies from +3V to +7V.
Figure 17 shows waveforms of the input and output. Notice that the first term in equation 1 represents the voltage gain of a conventional amplifier using a double power supply. The voltage gain is given by the following relationship:

In a conventional non-inverting amplifier, which operates with double supply, the bias voltage VBias is equal to 0 volts, and the output voltage is given by the following equation:

Symmetric Power Supply Using Transformer
A transformer that reads 12V CT 12, meaning that as they pass rectifier (diode) will produce a voltage 12, 0,-12V and 0 (CT) serves as a ground (neutral phase). If there is no writing can be measured using the AVO meter digital with measuring range AC position.
However transformers can also produce high voltage 24V, that is by connecting the 12V left and right in to rectifier diode without functioning 0 (CT).
In Figure 1, show how to count transformer voltage value 12V &12V.
Place a Black Probe in the center tap; Place a Red probe to left-tap, see scale needle the AVO meter. Next, move red probe to right-tap, see scale needle the AVO meter again. If the same of value then called a symmetric voltage.

Simple 9VDC Power Supply with Zener Diode
Zener Diode usually consists of two pole polarity, the pin cathode and anode. The cathode is usually a line to black (or red) on the diode body. In a simple scheme below you can see how the reduction or locking of the output voltage after the rectifier into a DC voltage of 9V. Zener diode code to get this voltage is usually labeled name 9.1V. Sometimes the factory writes power and temperature tolerance, the writing is very small. For mounting Diode’s wire do not reversed, it will result in broken or short schema occurs at the output. Cathode should get helped by a positive voltage after the resistor, and then the voltage of 9 volts locking occurs at the confluence of the resistor and the cathode to the negative / common.
How to measure
To get the right size then it is better to use a digital multimeter, but if you do not have this multimeter you can also use a needle multimeter (AVO Meter). The way, the set switch position DC multimeter with 50 scales or approaching, the red wire is placed on the cathode pole of Zener diodes, the black wire to the common. See the needle multimeter will definitely show to position 9 Volt.
