Increasing Regulator Current -  An outboard pass transistor used to increase the current output of a voltage regulator IC….(added 01/2010) [Andy Collison - designer]
Line Power Supply -  This circuit provides a regulated output without a power transformer. It is similar to common circuits, except that a zener diode is replaced with an SCR.  This is far more robust against line voltages surges than a zener diode version, plus there is no heat generation. C1 sets the available current (20mA/uF @ 60Hz). R3 sets the output voltage (~.55V/K). The bipolar outputs are separately adjustable by R3 and R5. Designed by Andrew R. Morris  (added 09/05)
LM317 Regulator with Pass Transistor -  The LM317T output current can be increased by using an additional power transistor to share a portion of the total current. The amount of current sharing is established with a resistor placed in series with the 317 input and a resistor placed in series with the emitter of the pass transistor. In the figure below, the pass transistor will start conducting when the LM317 current reaches about 1 amp, due to the voltage drop across the 0.7 ohm resistor.... [Bill Bowden]

Regulated 12V Supply (Mick Devine) -  This circuit above uses a 13 volt zener diode, D2 which provides the voltage regulation. Aprroximately 0.7 Volts are dropped across the transistors b-e junction, leaving a higher current 12.3 Volt output supply.  This circuit can supply loads of up to 500 mA.  This circuit is also known as an amplified zener circuit....

Simple VCOM adjustment uses any logic supply voltage -  30-Sep-04 Issue of EDN  All TFT (thin-film-transistor] LCD panels require at least one appropriately tuned VCOM signal to provide a reference point for the panel's backplane. The exact value of VCOM varies from panel to panel, so the manufacturer must program the voltage at the factory to match the characteristics of each screen.... [Design Idea by Peter Khairolomour and Alan Li, Analog Devices, San Jose, CA]
Soft Start power Supply -  Circuit designed by Miroslav Adzic. The output voltage rises slowly and reaches 15 V in 5 seconds.  In order to perform this soft-start function, the LM317 voltage regulator IC requires an external universal PNP transistor and the L200 uses its internal comparator (pin 2).  After switch-on, the rising voltage on the positive side of the charging electrolytic....(added 10/05)
Stabilised power unit -  I made the stabilised power unit which used the switching regulator. AC100 V is used for the input of the power unit. The output voltage can be changed from 5 V to 30 V. The output current can pour a maximum of 4 A. I made this power unit as the power unit of the electronic circuits making for the experiment....(schematic added 05/08)
Two AA cells power step-down regulator -  01/07/99 Issue of EDN  DC/DC conversion is particularly challenging when both the input and output voltages are low. Step-up ICs that operate with inputs lower than 1V are available, but step-down ICs that accept input voltages....Page includes several designs.  Scroll to find this one....
