Unregulated Power Supply
A basic full wave rectified power supply is shown below. The transformer is chosen according to the desired load. For example, if the load requires 12V at 1amp current, then a 12V, 1 amp rated transformer would do. However, when designing power supplies or most electronic circuits, you should always plan for a worst case scenario. With this in mind, for a load current of 1 amp a wise choice would be a transformer with a secondary current rating of 1.5 amp or even 2 amps. Allowing for a load of 50% higher than the needed value is a good rule of thumb. The primary winding is always matched to the value of the local electricity supply.
An approximate formula for determining the amount of ripple on an unregulated supply is:
The calculated value of ripple is (0.1 * 0.007) / 1000e-6 = 0.7 volts or 700mV. The value of peak-peak ripple measured from the graph is 628mV. Therefor, the equation is a good rule of thumb guide for choosing the correct value for a smoothing capacitor in a power supply.

1.3-12V Small Variable Power Supply
This is a small variable power supply delivers adjustable output voltage of 1.3v-12v. The current output determined by R3. With current setting (see part list), it will deliver current output about 1A.
Detail Specification:
Output (approximate values):
Vmin = (R4 + R5) / (R5*1.3)
Vmax = (7.15 / R5) * (R4 + R5)
Imax = 0.65/R3
Max. Power on R3: 0.42/R3
Min. Input DC Voltage (pin 12 to pin 7): Vmax + 5
Parts List
B1 = 40V/2.5A
R1 = 1k ohm
R2 = Potensiometer 5k ohm
R3 = 0.56R/2W
R4 = 3.3k ohm
R5 = 4.7k ohm
C1 = 2200uF (3300uF even better)
C2 = 4.7uF
C3 = 100nF
C4 = 1nF
C5 = 330nF
C6 = 100uF
D1 = Green LED
D2 = 1N4003
F1 = 0.2A F
F2 = 2A M
IC1 = LM723 (in a DIL14 plastic package)
S1 = 250V/1A
T1 = 2N3055 on a heatsink 5K/W
TR1 = 220V/17V/1.5
R2 sets the output voltage. The maximum current is decided by the value of R3: the over-current protection circuitry inside the LM723 senses the voltage across R3 and starts shutting the output stage off as soon as this voltage approaches 0.65 V. This way the current through R3 can never exceed 0.65/R3, even if the output is shorted.
C3 and C4, both ceramic, must be placed as close as possible to the integrated circuit, because the LM723 can be prone to unwanted oscillations. It is not an overkill to solder them directly (and very carefully) to the pins of the IC. All other connections should also be kept short.
The LM723 works with input DC voltages from 9.5 to 40 V and the IC itself can source some 150 mA if the output voltage is not more than 6-7 V below the input. When an external pass transistor is used (in the usual emitter-follower mode), the base-emitter junction of T1 represents a significant resistance and the integrated circuit's output stage is relatively lightly loaded. All the current drawn by the load passes through T1 and it dissipates an amount of power that is directly proportional to the current and the difference between the input and the output DC voltage.

Low-Ripple Power Supply
This circuit can be used where a high current is required with a low-ripple voltage (such as in a high-powered class AB amplifier when high-quality reproduction is necessary). Q1, Q1 and R2 can be regarded as a power Darlington transistor. ZD1 and R1 provide a reference voltage at the base of Q1. ZD1 should be chosen thus: ZD1=Vout-1.2 . C2 can be chosen for the degree of smoothness as its value is effectively multiplied by the combined gains of Q1/Q2, if 100uF is chosen for C2, assuming minimum hfe for Q1 and Q2, C=100x15(Q1)x25(Q2)=37,000uF.

Dual Regulated Power Supply
You need center tap transformer. for example, if you need 12v output, you should connect J1 to 15v transformer output, J2 connected to 0v and J3 connected to another 15V.
Electronic Fuse for DC Short Circuit Protection
This circuit will protect your power supply or battery. The electric current will stopped by relay when electric current short occured, Relays must be chosen with a voltage value equals to the input voltage. Don't omit using the 100uF capacitor with appropriate voltage value with respect to the input voltage. If you can't provide, you can use C106 instead of BRX46.
You can adjust the current with using 10K potentiometer. If you will use the fuse with very high currents, lower the 0R6 5W resistor value (ex. 0R47, 0R33, 0R22 or 0R1). Watt value of the resistor should be increased also.
