Current needed is less than 1A. Let's say that I want to go as high as = 12V. This is what I can do, I can simply connect a 7805 or similar regulator = and drop the voltage to 5 and then to 3 (with another regulator). I will = need both the 3V and 5V in the circuit. The important thing for me is that, = I would like this circuit to work whether a 3V, 5V or 12V power supply is connected. I can even give up the 12V if there is way to make the circuit work with either 3V or 5V power connection.
