Hi,
Please look at the circuit below. I'm using a GBPC1208W bridge rectifier. The resistor and capacitor values are shown (C1 = 500uF, R1 = 1K, R2 = 300):
My input AC voltage is 17V and I'm trying to get 12V DC out at M1. When I simulate this in PartSim it get pretty much exactly what I want. However, when I breadboard this circuit, my output DC voltage is the same as my input voltage. Any idea how this could be?
Thanks.
