Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E.

Miniature Isolated AC/DC Power Supply This circuit uses a novel approach to produce a fully isolated and regulated 5 volts @30ma from the 120vac power line. It uses two tiny SCRs that alternately discharge two capacitors through a miniature high frequency transformer. The voltage spikes produce. . . Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.-June, 2000

Non-Isolated Off-Line AC to DC Power Supply This compact efficient circuit can provide up to 100ma of a regulated 5 volts from an AC power source ranging from 20vac to 120vac. . . Circuit by David Johnson P.E.-July, 2006

Plus & Minus DC Power Supply This is a classic example of a regulated DC power supply that produces both a positive 15v and a negative 15v from a 20vac wall adapter . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.-October, 2005
