Description As you may recall the LM317 regulator is adjustable from 1.25 to about 35v. By adding 2 diodes you can drop the voltage slightly, about 0.6v of a voltage drop across each diode, so in the schematic below you can get close to 0v Schematic Parts List QTY PART-REFS VALUE --- --------- ----- Resistors --------- 1 R1 220R Capacitors ---------- 2 C1,C3 100nF 1 C2 100uF 1 C4 10uF Integrated Circuits ------------------- 1 U1 LM317T Diodes ------ 2 D1,D2 1N4004 Miscellaneous ------------- 1 RV1 5k

Description You can, with a little modification use a 7805 regulator to generate a variable voltage output, in the example below the output can be 5v to 30v. At higher output voltages you should fit a suitable heatsink to the 7805.

This is the most basic example of using a LM317 voltage regulator. The variable resistor (R1) and R2 are used to select the output voltage. The Lm317 is capable of delivering up to 1A of output current depending on the type you have.The input voltage can be up to 40V and output voltage can be adjusted from 1.2V to 37V. In our example we recommend 28v max. A heat sink must be fitted to the LM317 where the output current exceeds 250 milliamps.

All surface mount resistors have a 3-digit or 4-digit code. Here is a picture of a 3-digit surface mount resistor The first and second figures indicate the significant figures and the third one, is the multiplier. As an example, if the SMD resistor has the figures 102, it indicates 1, 0 = 10 x 102 ohms. That is the value is 1K. This next example can catch people out at first , 100 is not in fact a 100 ohm resistor but is in fact a 10×100 = 10 ohms or 10×1 = 10 ohms. In the case of resistors less than 10 ohms, the…
