    LM723 PSU with 0V lowest voltage

    I meant the large value ranges.

    LM723 PSU with 0V lowest voltage

    some of the large ones were only available in X5R.

    LM723 PSU with 0V lowest voltage

    Avoid using Y5F or Z5U dielectric they are complete junk. X5R and X7R are best buy and good quality.

    LM723 PSU with 0V lowest voltage

    The NPN transistor I used was a 2N5885, the 2n6124 is the PNP driver. To do 150W ps, you probably woud have to parallel four 2N5885. Building a linear over 100W is not trivial. It takes serious heatsink knowledge and also SOA considerations on the power devices. I tend to agree it makess...

    LM723 PSU with 0V lowest voltage

    That's why it's generic. Some of the resistors determine what your output voltage range is. Caps are in uF. The 15V line current draw is probably in the 20 mA ballpark but that's a guess. INA is from the positive unregulated supply. Maximum feasible curent is like 4 - 5A ballpark depends...

    LM723 PSU with 0V lowest voltage

    Here is a generic lab supply schematic that will give much higher performance.

    LM723 PSU with 0V lowest voltage

    You need a relay. No it's not worht the effort, I would just bulid a switcher that regulates about 2V higher than VOUT and use a 2V linear supply to drop it down. You get low noise and fast transient response of a linear but high efficiency near switcher level. No offense but the LM723 is a...

    42v to 12v

    +1 good idea. The power resistor inline with the relay is cheapest but relays suck in general for reliability IMHO.

    Not very happy with LEDs.

    yeah Switcher would be more efficient.

    Not very happy with LEDs.

    Yeah. Never buy anything off ebay you can't just write off.....

    Not very happy with LEDs.

    That was my first guess. Exceeding the peak reverse voltage, pop the rectifiers and then they cook.

    Not very happy with LEDs.

    Never afraid to state the obvious: parts desoldering themselves make me think it's excessive power dissipation.......

    Not very happy with LEDs.

    I'll guarantee you I know the country of origin.

    How do I exend supply range of LM317 for CC mode?

    I remember a specific failure mode on the "floating" 317 circuits with HV involved. There's usually some capacitors some where and at turn on they can force too much voltage across the LM317. Remember having this argument with the marketing idiots at NSC. I wanted to take the "HV floating"...
