Wiring And Schematic

There is little to be said about this schema. All the work is done by the regulator. The 7809 can deliver up to 2 amps continuous output whilst maintaining a low noise and very well regulated supply. The schema will work without the extra components, but for reverse polarity protection a 1N5400 diode (D1) is provided at the input, extra smoothing being provided by C1. The output stage includes C2 for extra filtering, if powering a logic schema than a 100nF (C3) capacitor is also desirable to remove any high frequency switching noise.
