The LM317T regulator, in TO-220 pack, can handle current of up to 1 amp in practice. The diagram shows the circuit of the desktop power supply. Regulator IC LM317T is arranged in its standard ...

Review the implementation of switched-mode power-supply reference circuits for both discrete (part one) and integrated designs (part two). A power-supply performance test methodology that ...

and as such, the power supply behaves as if it is a constant current source. This type of power supply seems to be useful to power circuits with low current requirements, on the order of about 1mA to ...
