So I built a very simple power supply circuit with the 1N5408 as my bridge rectifier and the LM323 as my 5V regulator. I have 9V AC as my input, coming from a transformer. The output however is around 0.5V. I have already replaced the LM323 but that didnt fix it. I think that the diodes are the problem (maybe they are used only for higher voltages?). I have read in other places that they should work regardless of the voltage, so I am confused. Does anyone knows what is the problem?
