Hi there I'm looking for a DC-DC converter that can step 24V down to 5V. It's for a PIC I have onboard a boat. It only needs to be able to supply 5mA max and have as few external components as possible. I have a zener, but that's just using too much batter power. I've been looking at the MAXIM IC's but I can't find any that will do, although I'm sure I've seen one before. Please suggest any that you may used before.
