very definitely limited by the output transistor and many factors less than the rated maximum current specified for the D44. It is also limited by the voltage available at the input to the pass transistor. Ripple at this input point begins to feed through to the output as the first sign that the regulator is being asked to do too much. Overheating is the second sign.maybe the current is limited by the DH transistor
also, can the LM329DZ be replaced by a TL431C (C has the lowest tolerance in fairchild's line)?
I'm thinking of something like this: http://img518.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitled3fl0.png
LM329 is not easy to come by. I am buying my parts from mouser and Lm329 is only available in digikey. It would save me postage cost if I only get parts in 1 place.
Plus the fact I have several TL431 at home already.
Thank you.

First, I don't know how it is used in the circuit you are describing, b/c I haven't seen / can't find the schematic.
In any case, if the reference is ground referenced, then you can easily use one of the regulators you mentioned.
In fact, there are lots of regulators you could use and some might be even easier to use. The biggest drawback is that using the TL part will require more support components.

http://at-view.co.uk/pdfs/ALWSR rev2.9 rev009a.pdf
schematics are in page 24 (positive supply) and page 28 (negative supply)
I'm just wondering if the TL431 can be substituted as shown in the negative supply.
thank you very much

it seems P-A has used a TL431 in his design and it's very similar to the ALWSR regulator.
AndrewT said:Is P-A = Peranders?
who has his own web site selling an excellent line of PCBs and circuit kits.
I see the 5V version of the ALWSR uses a 431 wired for 2.5V ref (=no extra components).
P-A = peranders
his site is indeed excellent.
his circuit is is more complicated that ALWSR but it comes with a PCB so that's a plus

Pcbs for ALW's reg are also available.
What is the working curent?
The datasheet states 8 A max. collector current. So what is the working current of the regulator?
Thanks!

Having seen the documentation that ALW has included for his regulators, I would expect the current to be specified in the pdf.
I have not only seen the documentation, but actually read it – unfortunately, this spec is not there...
But the documentation is excellent indeed!
another question on the circuit
The LM317/337 drops the voltage to 2.5VDC. is it okay if I use a 5VAC transformer. The output voltage required is 30VDC.
I was originally thinking of using 25VAC but 25VAC (in DC) is a lot of voltage to drop across the LM317/337. it can/will get very hot.
Thanks again

This description of voltages does not make sense.jarthel said:The LM317/337 drops the voltage to 2.5VDC. is it okay if I use a 5VAC transformer. The output voltage required is 30VDC.

Can you re-word your question?

Hmmm. What happened to those starter courses in electronics some of us were suggesting? I guess not much.
Still highly recommended to do some reading before building a Jung reg.
Or "it can/will get very hot"
