High Current Regulated Power Supply - The high current regulator below uses an additional winding or a separate transformer to supply power for the LM317 regulator so that the pass transistors can operate closer to saturation and improve efficiency. For good efficiency the voltage at the collectors of the two parallel 2N3055 pass transistors should be close to the output voltage. The LM317 requires a couple extra volts on the input side, plus the emitter/base drop of the 3055s, plus whatever is lost across the (0.1ohm) equalizing resistors (1volt at 10 amps) , so a separate transformer and rectifier/filter circuit is used that is a few volts higher than the output voltage __ Designed by Bill Bowden

ICL7660 DC to DC Converter from 5V to +/-5V - The LTC1046 is a 50mA monolithic CMOS
switched capacitor voltage converter. it plugs in for the iCL7660/ LTC1044 in 5V applications where more output current is needed. The device is optimized to provide high current capability for input voltages of 6V or less. it trades off operating voltage to get higher output current. The LTC1046 provides several voltage conversion functions: the input voltage can be inverted (VOUT = µViN) , divided (VOUT = ViN/2) or multiplied (VOUT = �nViN). Designed to be pin-for-pin and functionally compatible with the iCL7660 and LTC1044, the LTC1046 provides 2.5 times the output drive capability. __
