Hello Piclist,

I wanted to be sure that I can use 3 diodes to drop the voltage from a 5v
rail down to around 3v to drive an EPROM requiring 1.8v - 3.6.  I was using
an LM317T but seems a little overboard as the EPROM uses very little power.

It 'seems' to work ok, just wandered if there were any pitfalls and if I
should use a particular sized resistor to provide a load to get the diodes
to do their thing and perhaps a capacitor to smooth things out a little.

Regards Justin
