This circuit may 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 ). Low Ripple Regulated Power Supply Circuit Diagram PARTS LIST R1 2.2KΩ 1W R2 56Ω 1W R3 1oKΩ 1W C1 1000µF 63V C2 100µF 50V C3 470µF 50V D1, D2, D3, D4 6A Bridge Rectifier D5 500mA Zener Diode (see description) Q1 2N3055 Q2 2N3054 Q1, Q2, and R2 may be regarded as a power darlington transistor. D5 and R1 provide a reference voltage at the base of Q1. D5 should be chosen thus: D5=V out -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 100µF is chosen for C2, assuming minimum hef for Q1 and Q2, C=100×15(Q1)×25(Q2) =37000µF.
