This circuit takes a variable input voltage and outputs a stable voltage,
regardless of the current required by the load. A zener diode provides a
voltage reference, keeping the + input of the op-amp about 6V above ground.
The op-amp outputs whatever voltage is required to keep the – input
also at 6V; a voltage divider ensures that the output voltage is 2 times the
– input voltage, or 12V.
<p>
You can adjust the sliders at right to change the input current or load
current; the 12V output voltage should not change.
