This simple and inexpensive circuit can produce a dual (positive and negative) voltage from a single supply input. It is therefore extremely useful for powering opamp and other circuits that require a dual voltage from a single battery. The circuit will operate at an input voltage from around 5V to 20V and produce a output from +-2.5V to +-10V.

Description
Substitutions
R111M Linear Pot
C1,C2215uf 25V Electrolytic Capacitor
U11LM380 Audio Amp Chip
MISC1Heatsink For U1, Binding Posts (For Input/Output), Wire, Board

Notes

  1. U1 dissipates around 1W and will therefore require a heatsink.
  2. R1 is used to equalize the outputs. The first time you use the circuit, it should be set to mid range and then adjusted with the aid of a voltmeter. Measure each output while adjusting. The circuit is calibrated when both outputs read the same voltage (either positive or negative).

Hi! i find this design very usefull, thanks... i would like to know if there will be a change to increase the ouput voltage to at least ±12 to ±15 volts? What will be the new design?

Can you be kind enough to furnish me with a circuit to double the Secondary output voltage of this transformer. I believe that the current in this respect is divided by 2. Regards Ralph

Hey! You couldn't possibly be able to tell me how many amps this can handle? I need it so i can create a phase shift oscillator for my op amp, that means i can make a near sine wave to power my inverter!

You'll probably find this circuit is no good for op amps -- unless you're intending to use it for input and not for gain -- since it can't deliver much more than 10mA
