Summary

Dual Voltage DC Power Supply with circuitry to allow the adjustment to overcome the minimum 1.2 volts of the LM317 and LM337.


Description

The approximate 1.2 volt drop of D5-D6 and D7-D8 is the secret. By applying a +1.2 volts to the negative voltage adjust you overcome the minimum 1.2 volts of the negative voltage regulator. The same is for the positive side by applying a -1.2 volts to the positive voltage adjust you will overcome the minimum 1.2 volts of the positive regulator.

Very interesting. I am in the process of sorting a bench top modeled after this. Have you put this to real world yet?
