I am currently building a new power supply for my laptop. I have a 12.8 volt transformer, 50 Volt 6A Rectifier, and two 1000 uF capacitors. The problem is I need regulation, whats the simplest way to regulate this supply? Most IC regulators I've seen can't handle the current I need which is 4amps. Can I use a zener diode, and are the capacitors enough filtering?
Thanks
The laptop specs are 10.6 volts @ 3.5 amps. But I can run it at 12.8 volts at 4A works perfectly!
