Title: DC PSU Design
Post by: echen1024 on September 02, 2013, 12:28:31 am
I need a good, linear based power supply design. I have a simple LM317 connected according to the datasheet, but I would like to improve it with a rotary encoder and error amplification, and constant current. Any suggestions and part numbers are very much appreciated. I mainly do digital, so this is not my domain.

Dude, asking for linear power supply designs on an electronics forum is like asking for porn on the rest of the Internet. Search and ye shall receive results beyond your wildest dreams.

Worse yet, following a link for a schematic or YouTube guide, and realizing that you've just clicked on the electronics equivalent to "Two Girls, One Cup".
