Dual Regulated Power Supply

Dual Regulated Power Supply circuit diagram

This power supply will stabilize the voltage, both the positive voltage and negative voltage. IC 7815 will stabilize  positive voltage +15V and IC 7915 will stabilize the negative voltage -15V.

If you need stabilized 15 V output, you should choose transformer output around 18-24V AC and use IC 7815 and 7915. If you need stabilized 6V output, you sould choose transformer output arround 9V-15V and use IC 7806/7906.

15 Watt Audio Amplifier

15 Watt Audio Amplifier circuit diagram

Circuit Description:
This amplifier uses a dual 20 Volt power supply and delivers 15 watts RMS into an 8 ohm load. Q1 operates in common emitter, the input signal being passed to the bias chain consisting of Q8, Q9, D6, D13 and D14. Q8 and Q9 provide a constant current through the bias chain to minimize distortion, the output stage formed by a discrete darlington pair (Q2,Q4) and (Q7,Q11). The last two transistors are power transitors, specifically the 2N3055 and MJ2955. The 7.02K resistor, R16 was made using a series combination of a 4.7K, 680 Ohms, and two 820 Ohms. The 1.1K resistor, R3 was made using a 100 Ohms and a 1K resistor. You can use this circuit with any walkman or CD player since it is designed to take a standard 500mv RMS signal.

Adjustable Power Supply with Charger Output
