So should I put in my "order" = for a=20 11-15V input, 5V out, 300mA max out, buck converter that is size- &=20 cost-effective when compared to a 7805. :-) Since the challenge/competi= tion=20 seems to motivate you, I'll go ahead and say that I can do it within $1,=20 inductor and other passives all included. I really can't though. Cheers, -Neil. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
