Any suggestions? I need to build up a PIC power supply with the following requirements. 12 volts DC in - fixed (not a battery) 7 to 10 volts DC variable output @ approx. 1 amp 5 volts fixed @ 200 mA Was thinking about LDO types of regulators, and would like the regulators to be efficient enough not require a heat sink. Can anyone recommend their favorite part number(s)? Also, would it be better to run the 5 volt regulator off the variable 7 to 10 volt regulator, or from the 12 volts? Thanks !! ( sorry if this is a little off topic? ) David
