Designing an Adjustable Voltage Regulator Without an IC: Tips and Resources?

[arabul]

Hi Everyone,

I need to design an adjustable voltage regulator without using an IC. Does anybody could give me a source that can help me?

Input will vary between 10-15 volts... And output will be adjustable between 4-6 volts.
Line and Load regulations must be around %1

Need your help...

The Attempt at a Solution

Welcome to the PF. The easiest way to start would be to look at the equivalent circuit in the LM317 datasheet. That will show you how that adjustable linear voltage regulator IC is put together, and you can do something similar using discrete transistors, etc.

I would recommend looking into the use of a transistor or a zener diode to create an adjustable voltage regulator without using an IC. There are many online resources and tutorials available that can guide you through the design process. Additionally, you may want to consider the use of a potentiometer to adjust the output voltage within the desired range. It is important to ensure that your components are able to handle the input voltage range and can provide the necessary line and load regulations. Good luck with your project!
