7812 as current regulator

bigdog · Mar 10, 2003

I would like to use a 7812 as a current regulator. Is there a website that explains how to do this?

Download the datasheet from...

**broken link removed**

and you will find an example of current regulation in it - page 16.

do you need current or voltage regulation?

Volatge regulation through 7812 is a childs play. He is definitely searching for current regulation.

that is why i was asking, some people seem to refer to voltage but they say "current"

Thankyou

Tankyou for your information. I decided on using an LM317 as a current regulator.
