0.1V To 50V Variable Power Supply

This document summarizes a variable power supply circuit capable of outputting voltages between 0.1V to 50V. The circuit uses op-amp integrated circuits CA3130 and CA3086 to stabilize the output voltage within 0.005% even with load changes from 0 to 100%. The output voltage also only fluctuates by 0.01% with input voltage changes. Transistor T4 separates the lower level op-amp from the high output voltage level. The reference voltage is supplied by a temperature compensated transistor array IC1. Transistors T1 and T2 amplify the current and transistor T3 functions as a current limiter adjustable from 0.6 amps to disabling current limiting via potentiometer P

This power supply circuit is highly stabilized that its output voltage will drop only 0.005% even
though the load changes from 0 to 100%. Another excellent capability is that the output voltage
will change only by 0.01% if the input voltage fluctuates.

The capability if the circuit to be adjusted from 0.1V up to 50V is due to the application of
opamp IC CA3130 in the circuit. Transistor T4 raises the output voltage to higher level, and at
the same time it separates the lower level opamp from the high level of the output voltage. The
reference voltage is supplied by IC1. It is a temperature compensated transistor array with 5
transistors. Four of these transistors are used as reference diodes and the fifth one sets the output
impedance of the reference source.

The reference voltage is set through P1. The opamp CA3130 compares the reference voltage at
its minus input to the output voltage at its input. The output voltage passes first through a voltage
divider before it is fed into the plus input of the opamp. Transistors T1 and T2 work as
darlington pair and amplifies the current.

Transistor T3 functions as current limiter. The current limit is ajustable through P1, and the
lowest current limit is 0.6 ampere. Once potentiometer P1 is set at maximum, current limiting is
disabled.
