Voltage Regulator Project

This tutorial is for advanced users; complete the Hello World tutorial first!

For this tutorial, we are going to be building a voltage regulator circuit which converts 7V-12V to 5V using both linear and switching regulator ICs. It is a simple circuit that creates a stable and reliable 5V output from power sources like a 9V battery. Adjusting the input voltage within this circuit's usable range will not change its output voltage. This allows you to use various power sources to supply a stable 5V to connecting boards.

The circuit consists of two different regulator ICs, two LEDs, a diode, an inductor, two resistors, and some capacitors. We have also included some connectors to make using the board more user-friendly. For a more in-depth explanation of the project, check out our white paper.

We have included all the materials and components you need to print and assemble the voltage regulator project. If you need another kit, you can grab one from our store:

Although this circuit operates normally on its own, we recommend completing the other two projects for a well-rounded learning experience.

Pulse Generator Project

99 Decimal Counter Project

Before starting the project, be sure to review the Safety Guidelines for using the V-One.
