[sdiy] Dual DC-Power from a single AC-supply

[JH.]

Dual half wave is easy: 2 Diodes, 2 Capacitors.

I use this on all my PCB projects.

(Actually I have 4 diodes, to allow full wave when using two transformer 
secondary windings; it's fully compatible to single transformer winding, 
half wave, where 2 of the diodes are unused.)

Now that circuit that uses two bridges to get two full wave rectified DC 
voltages from a single transformer winding is really new to me!
I'll have to look at it in simulation ... interesting stuff!

I also recall (remember, it was 29 years ago!) that you need 3 capacitors to
do this (crap, now I'm going to have to look tonight for the circuit).
