DIY 12 Volt Adjustable Power Supply

Power supply is important part to our circuit. Without it, our circuit is nothing. The good power supply
need to regulate the voltage for circuit use. As we know the levels of voltage play the main role for our
circuit which talking about digital system. If our voltage is not regulating, our circuit become malfunction
because it can’t able to identify either it is high or low bit in digital system. The picture above is 12 Volt
adjustable power supply using adaptor where it using adaptor as step down transformer and rectifier
the output voltage.

My project has same concept like above but I have using transformer and build my own rectifier circuit. I
have tested this circuit and it working well as I want. Below is schematic diagram for my circuit:
List of components:

1. TRANSFROMER 12Vac, 1A/12VA …………………………………………………………………..1 unit

2. Diode 1N4001 ………………………………………………………………………………………………..4 unit

3. 7812 (voltage regulator 12V ) ………………………………………………………………………1 unit

4. Ceramic capacitor 0.1uF ………………………………………………………………………………..1 unit

5. Electrolytic capacitor 100uF …………………………………………………………………………..1 unit

6. Resistor 330R 1/4W ………………………………………………………………………………………1 unit

7. LED 3 mm …..………………………………………………………………………………………………….1 unit

8. Potentiometer 10K ………………………………………………………………………………………..1 unit

9. Screw terminal 2 way …………………………………………………………………………………..2 unit

10. PCB board ……………………………………………………………………………………………………..1 unit

Below is PCB circuit for my power supply circuit:

For design PCB board circuit, I have use PCB Wizard software where it has linking to Livewire
software. The software you can able to download from my blog. If you difficult to looking the
components part in my circuit, you can able make the order through me or you want share the idea
