Topic summary

The discussion centers on designing a simple 12-0-12 volt power supply circuit using a transformer and voltage regulators 7812 and 7912. The original request is for a circuit diagram that steps down 230V AC input to a dual 12V AC output, which is then rectified and regulated to provide ±12V DC. Clarifications were sought regarding whether the output should be AC or DC, regulated or unregulated, the maximum load current, and the input voltage specification (110V or 220V AC). A recommended solution involves using a dual secondary winding transformer (12-0-12 VAC), a bridge rectifier or full-wave rectifier, smoothing capacitors, and 7812/7912 linear voltage regulators for positive and negative 12V DC outputs. For higher current requirements (e.g., 7A), a switch-mode power supply or appropriately rated transformer and regulators are suggested. Reference to an external schematic from electroschematics.com was provided as a practical example. The discussion emphasizes the need for detailed specifications to tailor the power supply design effectively.
