Can I obtain a new voltage source from outputs of two cascaded linear voltage regulators in practice?
I have a device which works with 7V. I have a 7812 and 7805 already running in the circuit. Can I use the outputs of this voltage regulators to feed the 7V device?
I know this is possible in theory. ...

What could have caused my power supply to fail?
I made a dual +/- 12 V power supply for synthesizer circuits using a schematic by Moritz Klein (image below). The input of the supply is from a 12 VAC transformer.
After soldering the circuit on a ...

LM7805CV output voltage drop to 2.5v after connecting load
I've made a simple linear power supply for micro-controller with a transformer and LM7805CV as seen in the picture.
LM7805CV input voltage is 35V and output without load is 5V but after connecting a ...

LM7915 delivering more than -15v
I'm trying to build a regulated power adapter using LM7915.
Before everything, I built on a protoboard the schema included on the datasheet (from ST). But, instead -15v, the output is -19v...
I'm ...
