I have been working on this power supply design. I already have the parts, so I want to keep the values if possible. I based it on other designs and some figuaring but I am not sure I did it right. I originally desgned to be used with a 16V ac wall wart, which I have. I probably would use a CT supply now, but this is what I got.
Anyway, I think I am pretty close but because there is no CT on the transformer, I am concerned I may have done the voltage tripler wrong. Should the first diode be hooked up to the input I am using for the ground, or the other one - the way I am doing now?
Any other issues? This is my first attempt at a power supply so I am sure I could have done better, but I am learning.
