6 Volt regulator circuit using 7806

Description.
Here is the elementary 6V 1A power supply circuit using 7806 IC. The 7806 three-terminal
positive voltage regulator is available in the TO-220/D-PAK package making them useful in a wide
range of applications. 7806 employs internal current limiting, thermal shut down and safe operating
area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If proper heat sinking is provided, it can deliver
over 1 ampere output current.

Notes .
 If 2A bridge is not available make one with four 1N 4007 diodes.
 Fit a proper heat sink with 7806 if your circuit draws more than 400mA current.

Project 2
voltage regulator circuit using LM317.

LM317 Adjustable Regulator

A classic voltage regulator circuit using LM317 is shown above. Input voltage is fed to the pin3 (v in)
of the IC and regulated output voltage is available from pin 2 ( V out) of the IC. Resistor network
comprising of R1 and R2 connected in association to the pin1 (adj) is used to set the output voltage.
C1 is the input filter capacitor while C2 is the output filter capacitor. The output voltage of the
regulator circuit depends on the equation, Vout = 1.25V (1 + (R2/R1)) + I adj R2.
