 INTRODUCTION

To covert the PSU into a variable power supply, use an

LM 338K or LM 317 adjustable voltage regulator IC as
shown in fig. connect +12V and -12V supplies from the
PSU to this circuit so that we get 1.2V to +23V
maximum output using VRI potentiometer. But the
current output will reduce to 500mA because the
output current of -12V output is 500mA only.

 Working of circuit diagram

• The practical regulator using LM317 is as shown

in Fig.
• Filter capacitors are necessary only if LM 317 is
located at a distant location from the filter
capacitor of unregulated input power supply.
• If LM317 is far away from input power supply,
then a 100 uF disc type or 1 uF. tantalum
capacitor should be used at the input of LM317 as
a filter as shown in Fig.
• The output capacitor C is optional. We can
connect to improve the transient response. C is a
large value electrolytic capacitor
• which should be in the range of 1 to 1000 F.
• The adjustment terminal ADJ of IC LM 317 is
bypassed with a capacitor C as shown in Fig.
 Technical feature

 LM 317 has many future prospects. By using

LM 317 we can easily overcome the noise
effect of the circuit .
 By changing the load resistance and voltage the
noise effect further be diminished. So that we
get an error free output voltage. In other words
LM 317 is highly proefficient in making a circuit
error free and flawless.

LM317 is very useful integrated circuit

used in power supplies. But when capacitor and
protective circuit, protecting the highly complicate
circuits from being damaged . Variable voltage
regulator can used for different purpose .
