INTRODUCTION
Power is the backbone of any electronic system and the power supply is
what feeds the system. Choosing the right supply can be the critical difference
between a device working at optimum levels and one that may deliver
inconsistent results.
Devices nowadays are all powered and run on batteries that supply a
specific voltage. Some devices require more voltage than others and thus
when using a battery with a higher voltage than is required to power the device,
a voltage regulator can be used in conjunction with the input voltage in order to
output a specific voltage that will make the device work. With the use of the
necessary and essentially output a different voltage. The purpose of this project
is to design, build, and test the LM317 voltage regulator to output different
voltages

VOLTAGE REGULATORS
A voltage regulator is one of the most widely used electronic circuitry
in any device. A regulated voltage is very important for the smooth functioning
of many digital electronic devices. Its main function is to keep the terminal

called zener diode. The main reason to use a voltage regulator is to maintain a
constant dc output voltage. It also blocks the ac ripple voltage that cannot be
blocked by the filter. A good voltage regulator may also include additional
circuits for protection like short circuits, current limiting circuit, thermal

In this set up, transistor behaves like a variable resistor whose resistance
is determined by the base current. It is also called pass transistor because the
Therefore, VBE = VZ - VL

When current demand increases by decreasing RL, VL tends to decrease.
As seen from the above equation, it will increase V BE because, VZ is fixed. This
will increase forward bias of the transistor thereby increasing its level of
conduction. This will lead to the decrease in collector emitter resistance of the
transistor which will slightly increase the input current to compensate for the
corresponding effect on VBE. Suppose VL decrease, then as seen from the above

Digital IC
Digital ICs are complete functioning logic networks that are equivalent

Linear IC
Linear ICs are equivalent of discrete transistor network, such as
output of electrical signals varies in proportion to the input signal applied or the
physical quantities (parameters) they represent. Since the electrical signals are

to the physical quantities, linear circuits are also referred to as analog circuits.
Of all presently available linear ICs the majority are operational amplifier
(OPAMPs).
Types of IC
ICs may be classified as either monolithic or hybrid. Most linear ICs are
processed by the monolithic in that all transistors and passive elements (resistor

ICs possible. Also, monolithic ICs exhibit good thermal stability because; all

reason, low –volume production methods are best suited to hybrid IC technology.
Hybrid ICs are further classified as thin film or thick film depending on

Scale of Integration
Level of integration in ICs has been increasing ever since they were
developed some two and a half decades back. The number of electronic circuits
or components that can be fitted into a sauntered size IC has been dramatically
increasing with each passing year. In fact, whole electronic systems rather than

Integrated circuit package types
In the flat pack, the chip is enclosed in a rectangular uremic case with
terminal leads extending through the sides. The flat pack comes with 8, 10, 14,
or 16 leads. These leads accumulate the power supplies, inputs, outputs and
or plastic case. The transistor pack is available with 3, 5,8,10 or 12 pins. Most
of the voltage regulator ICs such as the LM117 has three pins. Power op-amps
and audio power amplifier are usually available in 5 pin packages. The metal
can package is best suited for power amplifier because metal is a good heat
conductor and consequently has better dissipation capability than the flat pack
or dual –in- line package. In addition, the metal van package permits the use of
pin packages.
In the dual line package (DIP), the chip is mounted inside a plastic or
ceramic case. The DIP is most widely used package type because it can be
mounted easily. The 8 pin dual in line packages are available with 12, 14, 16
and
16
20 pins. In general, as the density of components integral on the same chip
increases, the number of pins also goes up. This is especially true in digital ICs.
Temperature Ranges
All ICs manufactured fall into one of the three basic temperature grades,
supply voltages, input current and voltage offset and drifts, voltages gains and
others. The military grade devices are almost always of superior quality, with
ICs have the worst tolerances among the three types but are the cheapest. In
short, performance and cost are the important factors in selecting an IC.

WORKING
This circuit has an inbuilt bridge rectifier using four IN 4007 diodes, so
we can directly provide 220V / 110V AC supply at the input of the LM317
circuit. The circuit converts 230V / 110V AC to 0V – 12V DC. The step-down
transformer reduces the voltage from 220V /110V AC to 15V AC. The
inbuilt bridge rectifier converts 15V AC to 15V DC. To get the maximum
12volt DC at the output, 15volt DC is required at the input of the LM317 IC.
