Hi Guys,
Firstly, I am an absolute beginner.
I designed a very simple power supply of which I have attached the circuit diagram.
It only has voltage control and no current control or current sensing.
When nothing is connected to it, I can set the voltage to a specific voltage. As soon as I attach a load, the voltage drops a couple of volts depending on the load. Then I have to adjust it.
So my questions are:
1) Is this what off-the-shelf power supplies do as well?
2) If not, why is it happening
3) How do I prevent it?
Thanks a lot guys.
