power supply...
30 seconds later it was all over. Specifically, it is a transformer, a diode bridge, a pair of
resistors and an output transistor.
- If the output transistor fails (due to overheating), 22V can go to the load.
- Without special overloads, a couple of output transistors burned out, 2SB647A flew. In
general, in such inclusion, it is not a very good solution, the main one did not work well.
Improvements:
— 2SB647A replaced by KT816B.
- The 0.1 Ohm 5 W resistor was replaced with a nichrome wire. It is designed to measure
current.
— 150 Ohm 2 W resistor replaced by 390 Ohm 2 W.
- Replacing resistors to obtain other fixed voltages. Set fixed voltages: 1.5V; 3.3V; 5V; 9V
and 12V.
- Replaced the transformer with a laptop power supply. At the same time, I solved the
problem with the diode bridge.
- I put the output transistor on the radiator.
Regarding the power supply of the measurement plate. There is a rectifier diode and a
stabilizer made in 78L05. The recommended input voltage for the 78L05 is +7 to +20 V, so
everything is within tolerance.
For repairs and experiments with electronic equipment, a power supply is required. I have
a good one (I took it in the 90s): two independent outputs: for U = from 0 to 30 V and
protection for I = from 0 to 3 A. It's good for everyone, BUT heavy and BIG. For the house I
want something comfortable and small (and not too expensive). I liked the little Chinese
YaXun PS-1502DD +.
Which does not fully correspond to what was declared, perhaps due to the purpose of the

Today, the market is saturated with a variety of Chinese-made laboratory PSUs of various
modifications, with various operating parameters and services. However, the cost of
models with attractive parameters and capabilities is quite high, and many radio amateurs
prefer to make such devices with their own hands, which often look and work just as well
as industrial models of a similar class, but are much cheaper to manufacture. . But it is one
thing to develop and assemble an electronic unit, another thing is to make a case with a
decent design, which requires a certain amount of time, experience and skill in the
production of mechanical work. There is also a compromise option: order the manufacture
of the box or purchase a suitable "box" in retail. But personally, neither the first nor the
second of the options suited me: for the first - there is no time and place to tinker with a file,
the second also disappears due to the high cost (both per order and retail) of cases from
acceptable quality and necessary design. The third option turned out to be the most
attractive - purchasing an inexpensive copy of a laboratory power supply in one of the
online stores in order to refine it to the level of a device with the necessary parameters for
my needs. Such an instance turned out to be an LBP with the name YG-1502DD (Fig. 1). -

The parameters of this LBP are printed in the name: output voltage - from 0 to 15V, output
current - up to 2A. Service functions: 1. adjustment of trigger protection operation in current
from 0.6 to 2A; 2. 5 fixed output voltage values switch. Of the benefits: 1. good design; 2.
indication of output parameters (current, voltage); 3. a good basic schematic diagram that
allows minimal constructive intervention for refinement; 4. Low overall price for these
advantages; 5. Sufficiently accurate digital indication of current and voltage; 6. Compact
body with enough internal volume for my purposes. Everything else is negative: 1. a low-
power step-down transformer that "fails" the voltage at the LBP output at parameters close
to the maximum; 2. The display board controller flashes in such a way that the ammeter
indication freezes at 2.55 A at a current greater than this value, and the voltmeter indication
"resets" at a voltage level greater than 25, 5V; 3. a two-color LED "accompanies" the work
of the LBP with a red glow, the operation of the protection "greets" with green; 4.
Component position designations on the LBP board are mostly replaced by denomination
designations; 5. "One-time" threading of the threaded connections of the body; 6. symbolic
cooling of the regulation transistor; 7. Thin connecting conductors from the board to the
control transistor, from the board to the output terminals, thin cores of the network cable.
All these advantages, as well as disadvantages, are inherent in all, without exception, all
LBPs that I bought at once (including incorrect wiring of a two-color LED). Also, judging by
the reviews and discussions on the forums about THIS and other LBPs with the inscription
1502 (regardless of the letter prefix), these models are assembled from the same set of
components and have only minor differences in design and diagram of circuit. Therefore, I
knew most of the shortcomings beforehand and it suited me very well.
The parameters and service I would like to receive from the modified YG-1502DD: 1. The
ability to supply a sufficiently high voltage to the input of the LBP; 2. voltage regulation in
the range of 0 to 35-60V; 3. output current up to 5A; 4. small waves within overlapping
ranges of current and voltage; 5. Current limit setting from 0 to maximum; 6. adjustable trip
current protection; 7. Overheat protection.
The circuit diagram redrawn by the author from the YG-1502DD printed circuit board is
shown in Fig. 3
Note. The schematic diagram of YG-1502DD, due to the lack of most reference
designations on the board, was replaced by the author with his own, marked in red font for
ease of description. The same designations are also present on the modified diagram,
where the graphic symbols of the components added to the diagram are red.
The "core" of the LBP circuit is the LM723 chip (U2 in the circuit), which has been
produced since 1972 and has proven its versatility, reliability and low cost over a long time
of existence. The interior of the microcircuit contains a precision reference voltage source,
an error amplifier and a current limiter. It is capable of working, thanks to the built-in power
stabilizer, in the range of 9.5 to 40V with an output control current of up to 150mA and is
designed for use in voltage regulators with a current of up to 10A at a voltage of input of up
to 40V and an output of 2-37V (according to the recommendations and diagrams of the
manufacturer's official documentation). In the YG-1502DD circuit, the capabilities of the
microcircuit are not fully used (the current limiter is not involved), but there is an adjustable
activation latch on the transistors VT1, VT2 (of various structures), prohibiting the operation
of the microcircuit U2 on pin 13 (output of the error amplifier) through diode D11, blocking
the output transistor of the microcircuit. As a result, the termination of the current in the
R15 circuit, the base-emitter VT4 (with the blocking of this transistor), the base-emitter of a
powerful regulator transistor VT5 (with the blocking of the transistor), the complete absence
of voltage at the LBP output (+ Out). The latch, in turn, is controlled by a pair of operational
amplifiers from the U3 chip, the first of which (U3.2) monitors the voltage on the current
sensor (resistor R18), amplifies it by supplying its own voltage. output to the input of the
ammeter and to the input of the second operational amplifier (U3.1), directly controlling the
latch through a regulator (R30), which changes the level of the reference voltage at the
inverting input of this operational amplifier. With the help of the R28 trimmer, the
adjustment range of the latch drive is selected. Latch actuation is indicated by LED HL1.1
(red). In this case, LED HL1.2 (green) is biased by the resistors of the open transitions of
the latch transistors, resistor R17 and LED HL1.1. The sum of the voltage drops in this
circuit is not enough to make the green LED glow due to the relatively large value of
resistor R2, which limits the HL1.2 glow current. Thanks to the selected values of resistors
R35-R39, the readings of the ammeter (which actually has no combination with a pair of
operational amplifiers, a voltmeter) are numerically equal to the value of the load current.
An adjustable voltage is supplied to the direct input of the error amplifier (pin 5) of the U2
microcircuit from an additional reference voltage source (+ 5V) made on an adjustable
zener diode TL431 (VZ1). VZ1 is powered by a reference voltage source built into U2
(+7.2V). Why this is done is not very clear, because. integrated into the ION chip is
completely self-sufficient. With the extreme "right" position of the switch (fully clockwise),
the LBP function regulated by the 0 to + 15V output is selected. At the same time, for the 5
U2 output, the voltage divider R54, R40 (soft voltage regulator), R41 (coarse voltage
regulator) is relevant. All of the above switch positions create fixed voltages +1.5, +3.6V,
+4.8V, +6V, +7.2V at the LBP output. These values are selected by the resistances of
resistors R22-R31. The reverse input of the error amplifier monitors the output voltage
through a divider between resistors R10, R13, R9. U2 is powered by rectifier D1 through
diode D2 with +24V. From the same diode, voltage is supplied to the collector of the
regulator transistor VT5. The integrated regulator L7812 (U1) is a power supply only for the
latch circuit and the operational amplifier U3 (LM358). Resistor R14 dampens possible
excess power at U1, which operates without a heat sink with little or no heating. Resistor
R17 creates an initial charge on the LBP output. The voltmeter displays the output voltage
value and its input is connected to the positive output terminal through resistor R32, which
is the only trimmer for the display unit. The display unit itself is powered by alternating
voltage. which is the only tuning element for the display unit. The display unit itself is

10V from a separate transformer winding. Thus, the indication unit is practically decoupled
from any of the LBP buses and, if necessary, by switching, the indication unit can also be
used for external measurements.
