I'll add my vote for the LM2936. I use the Z-5.0 by the hundreds. It's my prefered high-vin, low current regulator. I also use the LM2937, but that's not low quiesecent. One note though.

The good news is that as long as you're under 30*c/85%RH, you have a year after opening the drypack before this beomes an issue.. but I'd recommend keeping them in a well-sealed antistatic ziplock bag with dessicant just in case. They should come in a sealed package with dessiant and a relative humidity card so you can be sure they haven't sat out in the open absorbing moisture. -forrest -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
