9 Volt 2 Amp Power Supply
Circuit : Andy CollinsonEmail: anc@mitedu.freeserve.co.uk
Description:
A simple 9 Volt 2 amp supply using a single IC regulator.
There is little to be said about this circuit. All the work is done by the regulator. The 78S09 can deliver up to 2 amps continuous output whilst maintaining a low noise and very well regulated supply.
The circuit will work without the extra components, but for reverse polarity protection a 1N5400 diode is provided at the input, extra smoothing being provided by C1. The output stage includes C2 for extra filtering, if powering a logic circuit than a 100nF capacitor is also desirable to remove any high frequency switching noise.
