Ni Cd and Ni MH Adjustable constant current Circuit Diagram
This is a battery charger circuit with adjustable current for Ni-MH or Ni-Cd. It can be used for a constant current power, which can be set to any value from a few milliamps to about 500 mA. The maximum current is 500 mA, because that is the limit of transistor BC140. The input voltage must be above 5.25V output voltage, this is due to losses as 1.25V current limit and approximately 4V regulator.

Adjustable Duty Cycle
The circuit shown here can be used to convert a digital input signal having any desired duty cycle into a output signal having a duty cycle that can be adjusted between 10% and 80% in steps of 10%. The circuit is built around a 74HC4017 decade Johnson counter IC. Individual pulses appear on the ten outputs (Q0–Q9) of this IC at well-defined times, depending on the number of input pulses (see the timing diagram). This characteristic is utilised in the circuit. The selected output is connected via a jumper to the Reset input (MR, pin 2) of a 74HC390 counter. A High level resets the output signals of the 74HC390 counter. Q9 of the 74HC4017 is permanently connected to the CP0 input of the counter to set the Q0 output of the 74HC390 (pin 3) High on its negative edge.

As can be seen from the timing diagram, which shows the signals for a duty cycle of 30% as an example, this produces a signal with exactly the desired duty cycle. The circuit cannot be used to produce a duty cycle of 10% (which would be equivalent to taking the signal directly from the Q0 output of the 74HC4017) or 90%. In both cases, the edges of the pulses used for the count input (CP0) and the asynchronous reset input (MR) of the 74HC390 would coincide, with the result that the output state of the 74HC390 would not be unambiguously defined. The input frequency must be ten times the desired output frequency.

If the second half of the 74HC390 is wired as a prescaler, a prescaling factor of 2, 5 or 10 can be achieved, thus allowing the ratio of the of input frequency to the output frequency to be 20, 50 or 100. If the circuit is built using components from the 74HC family, it can be operated with supply voltages in the range of 3–5 V.

Build a 1 2 36V 5A Adjustable Power Supply with LM317
Build a 1.2-36V 5A Adjustable Power Supply circuit diagram with LM317. This circuit is a simple power supply circuit. 1.2 - 36V adjustable bench power supply with 5A of output current. Max input voltage is 37V and output is adjustable via potentiometer between 1.2 up to 36 volts. TIP147 PNP darlington transistor boosts the current of LM317 from 100mA to 5A. LM317 is the most useful and inexpensive adjustable regulator and for this circuit you can also use LM317 L that can give 100mA, thats enough for transistor bias.

D1 and D2 are protection diodes because when you turn the circuit off the output capacitors are discharging and can damage the transistor or regulator. 100nf capacitors are in parallel with electrolytic capacitors to remove high frequency noise because large value electrolytic have large ESR and ESL and cant remove high frequency noise.

Adjustable Power Supply 1 2 – 30V 5A using LM338
If you want to a variable dc voltage power supply circuit during 1.2V to 30Vdc and can provide a current maximum to 5A.
We may be have the many ways such as: to be modified the LM317 Variable Regulator 0-30V 1A by add the power transistor MJ2955 in circuit following Power supply regulator 1.2V-20V and 3V-6V-9V-12V 3Amp or will build the Variable dc regulator 0-30V 5A circuit to be well as well, But these methods. Rather cumbersome and wasting too money.

However we can build this circuit easily and cheap, By using the packages IC No. LM338 only one, Similar to the LM317 IC number, but it can supply up to 5A, as the circuit shown in Fig.
How this circuit works
-The transformer T1 converts the AC 220V to 24 Vac, so be rectified the current by the bridge diode rectifier BD1 – 10A 400V. Until DCV has come out that the filter capacitor C1 is equal to 35 volt.
-The IC1 is the heart of the operation of this circuit. By the voltage output value obtained from the IC depends on the voltage value at the Adj pin of IC1, or can be varied by adjusting the VR1.
-However output voltage will be approximately equal to 1.25+1.25VR1/R1
The output voltage at the output pin of the IC1 is a more powerful filter with the capacitor C3.
