CA3140 power supply
I decided to use a CA3140, because the input voltage is high and the input voltage may be below the negative supply. Therefore I can use them in a power supply with only 1 DC input voltage. In the datasheet of the CA3140, a design is given, only the used current limiter is not linear (and just building that circuit was not so much fun).

- A CA3140 based power supply, using 2 CA3140 opamps. It was designed by some members of the Dutch electronics forum Circuitsonline. A small improvement is given here (Dutch)
- Elektor power supply from 1982
- ELV power supply
- LM324 power supply, design similar with mine.
