Paralleled Voltage Regulators with Balanced Load Sharing- Paralleling voltage regulators to provide mode load current is a common technique. Forcing the amplifiers to share the load current equally is called ballasting. Using a precision low offset voltage amplifier to sense the output current from each regulator requires just milli-ohms of resistance, typically just a pcb circuit trace. Each amplifier then adjusts the output voltage of each regulator to force the output currents to be equal. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 16th 2010

Power Supply (PSU 3)- I have done some work with DC PSUs over the past few months but some of the designs were either complex or "basic performers".

Power Supply Accepts Wide Input-Voltage Range- 02/17/11 EDN Design Ideas: A SEPIC-based power supply runs from 1.5V to 20V. The switching power supply in Figure 1 produces 3.3 V dc from an input voltage of 2.5 to 20V dc with high efficiency. The circuit operates at an input voltage as low as 1.5V once it starts from a minimum of 2.5V dc, allowing the switcher to fully discharge a pair of alkaline cell batteries nearing end of life. The power supply can also run efficiently off higher input voltages, such as 12V automotive power. The heart of the circuit is a SEPIC (single-ended-primary-inductance-converter) -based switching power supply, which provide as an output voltage greater than or less than the input voltage (Reference 1).

Secure Bootstrap Operation under Light Load- 05/12/11 EDN Design Ideas: Additional circuit lets a capacitor charge, preventing voltage dips.

The waveforms in Figure 2 demonstrate how this problem takes place in buck converter IC1B when its output voltage, VBUS, dips below the regulation point at a fixed rate under no load. By inspecting the other traces in Figure 2, you can conclude that the dip of VBUS occurs Design by Chee Hua How

Simple Circuit Variable Voltage Source- The high current regulator below uses an additional winding or a separate transformer to supply power for the LM317 regulator so that the pass transistors can operate closer to saturation and improve efficiency. For good efficiency the voltage at the collectors of the two parallel 2N3055 pass transistors should be close to the output voltage. The LM317 requires a couple extra volts on the input side, plus the emitter/base drop of the 3055s, plus whatever is lost across the ( 0.1ohm) equalizing resistors ( 1volt at 10 amps) , so a separate transformer and rectifier/filter circuit is used that is a few volts higher than the output voltage __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Variable 3 to 24 Volt/3 Amp Power Supply- This regulated power supply can be adjusted from 3 to 25 volts and is current limited to 2 amps as shown, but may be increased to 3 amps or more by selecting a smaller current sense resistor ( 0.3 ohm). The 2N3055 and 2N3053 transistors should be mounted on suitable heat sinks and the current sense resistor should be rated at 3 watts or more. Voltage regulation is controlled by 1/2 of a 1558 or 1458 op-amp. The 1458 may be substituted in the circuit below, but it is recommended the supply voltage to pin 8 be limited to 30 VDC, which can be accomplished by adding a 6.2 volt zener or 5.1 K.

This resistor will dissipate __ Designed by Bill Bowden
Voltage Boost- In this design a marginal AC to DC linear power supply provides a voltage boost, so it can maintain regulation at low line voltages. The added components are wired at the AC input and the + DC output of an existing bridge rectifier circuit. The components act as a full wave “charge pump” which will boost the DC output voltage across the main filter capacitor C3. Without the boost circuit, when the AC line voltage drops to 105vac, the DC output voltage only reaches 11.5 volts, too low for a 12v voltage regulator. . . .
