I'm looking for a switching regulator chip. Something inexpensive like the MC34063, but not limited to 100 KHz because I need to reduce the physical size of my layout, especially the inductor. Not having to use a current sense resistor would be nice too. =20 The basic operating parameters will be 8V in, 3.3V out, at 1 amp. I don't have prices but the Micrel range of switching chips might be worth= =20 looking at. The MIC4576 can pump out 3A runs at 200kHz, same pinout as LM2576 and is= =20 available in fixed 3v3 or adjustable 1v23 - 33v versions, input is 4 -36v. For 1MHz and 2MHz there are the MIC2204,2202 (max 5v5 in though) or many=20 other variants with 4v5 - 26v in @ 600kHz - www.micrel.com Colin -- cdb, colin@btech-online.co.uk on 6/08/2012 =20 Web presence: www.btech-online.co.uk =20 =20 Hosted by: www.justhost.com.au =20 =20 This email is to be considered private if addressed to a named individual= =20 or Personnel Department, and public if addressed to a blog, forum or news= =20 article. =20 =20 =20 --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
