This document describes how to create a variable voltage power supply from a fixed voltage regulator like the 7805 IC. It uses two resistors connected to the regulator output to vary the output voltage. Components include a step-down transformer, rectifier, 7805 regulator, capacitors, and various resistors. A circuit diagram shows the design which filters and regulates the input voltage before two resistors after the regulator allow variable output by selecting different resistor values using a rotary switch. This creates a simple variable power supply from a fixed voltage regulator.

Introduction:
In this project, I will show you how to design a Variable
Voltage Power Supply from Fixed Voltage Regulator like
7805 IC.
78XX series of the voltage regulator is for the positive v
oltage supply i.e. if you need a +5V supply, then 7805 v
oltage regulator
Voltage regulators like 7805 are used to offer fixed volt
age at the output terminal and does not depend on the
variations at input voltage supplied (as long as it is grea
ter than the required voltage).
LM317 is a simple Variable Voltage Regulator IC that
can be used to produce voltages in the range of 1.5V
to 37V. But you can produce the same from a fixed vo
ltage regulator like 7805 as well (although not the sa
me range). This can be achieved by adding two resist
ors.
Components Required:
230V to 12V Step Down Transformer
Bridge Rectifier
7805 Regulator IC
1000μF Capacitor
0.22μF Capacitor
0.1μF Capacitor
470Ω Resistor x 2
100Ω Resistor
220Ω Resistor
330Ω Resistor
Mini Breadboard

Circuit Design:
Initially, the primary of the 230V to 12V Step Down
Transformer is connected to the AC Mains supply while
the secondary is connected to a bridge rectifier. The
output of the bridge rectifier is filtered out using a
capacitor and is given to the 7805 Voltage Regulator
IC.
A 0.22μF Capacitor is connected between INPUT and
COMM (GND of 7805) while a 0.1μF Capacitor is
connected between OUTPUT and COMM.
A 470Ω Resistor is connected between the COM and
OUT. A rotary switch is used to switch between output
resistors and the following resistors are connected to
the switch: 100Ω, 220Ω, 330Ω and 470Ω.
Principle:
A simple project where a Variable Voltage Power
Supply from Fixed Voltage Regulator is implemented
here. The main principle behind the working of this
project is very simple.

Connect two resistors R1 and R2 as shown in the


image below: one between the output and GND Pin
and the other between GND Pin and GND of power
supply.
The amount of current flowing through R2 is
a combination of current through R1 and the
standby current of 7805.
Important Notes
When switching from one resistor to
other, the load will get 12V.
So, before switching, make sure that the
load is disconnected (or you can
completely switch off the power supply,
make a switch and then switch on the
power supply).
