Introduction
This is LM317 adjustable regulated power supply board that uses a linear voltage regulator. Since it’s linear, its efficiency isn’t extremely high — to boost efficiency, there needs to be a 3V voltage difference between input and output. However, the maximum voltage difference between input and output should not exceed 30V.
This module can replace all fixed 3-terminal regulators like the 7805, 7806, 7809, 7812, and 7824. It also works as a car-mounted power supply: just connect the module’s input to your car’s cigarette lighter port, then turn the potentiometer to adjust the output voltage (from 1.25V to 30V) — it can power devices like phones, MP3s, MP4s, and PSPs, making it super simple and convenient.
It’s perfect for powering your electronic devices: if your device needs 1.25V-60V, but you only have a 12V or 24V battery on hand, this module can step the voltage down to 1.25V-30V to solve your problem. It’s also great as a front-end power supply for projects: if your project requires 1.25V-30V but your input voltage is too low, this module is your top choice.

Wiring Description
Important Notes
This module uses a linear regulator, so its efficiency isn’t very high. To improve efficiency, you need a 3V voltage difference between the input and output. But the maximum voltage difference between input and output must be less than 30V (like Input – Output ≤ 30V). Otherwise, the module could burn out easily!
Since this is a linear step-down DC-DC circuit, the input voltage must be at least 3V higher than the output voltage to ensure stable output.
Adjustment Steps
- First, correctly connect the input power (which should be between 4.5V and 40V).
- Use a multimeter to monitor the output voltage, then turn the potentiometer:
- Turn counterclockwise to increase the voltage.
- Turn clockwise to decrease the voltage.
- When adjusting the voltage, make sure to set the desired voltage before connecting any load!
