In this DIY, we are making a voltage converter in which we are converting voltage from 24 V or 12 V to 10 V using “LM7810 IC.” LM7810 is a “voltage regulator IC” which is used to convert a higher voltage to a lower voltage and belongs to the arrangement LM78XX.
The LM78XX arrangement of “three-terminal positive regulators” is accessible in the TO-220 bundle and with a few fixed yield voltages, making them helpful in a wide scope of applications. This project is easy to make and requires a few low-cost components which are easily accessible in the market.

10V Converter Circuit
Working Explanation
In this circuit, we are using a few low-cost components for making a 24 V or 12 V to 10 V converter. The components include IC LM7810, diode 1N4001, capacitors, and 12 V or 24 V DC supply. The schematic that appeared beneath will give a “fixed output” of 10V DC. The input voltage can be any from 12V to 24V DC you can likewise utilize voltage higher than 24 volts in light of the fact that the IC underpins max 35-volt input yet the voltage contrast will change into heat dispersal from the IC so a major heat sink will be required for voltages over 24 volts.
Applications and Uses
It is used where a fixed 10 voltage at the output is required
