Another project-a-week: 3.3volt and 5volt power solution
Rwinscot is attempting a project-a-week. This week he shared his RickPAW 3.3volt/5volt power project in the forum:
This entry was posted in dev boards, project logs and tagged power supply, RickPAW.This breakout could be used in an automotive application where bare wires are soldered into place and the whole package wrapped in shrink tube. Or… you might want to put a barrel jack on it and use it as a breadboard power supply. Or… use PC terminals to wire-up a solar panel.

Meh. Where’s the smps? Linear is so 80s…. I’m a power supply design engineer, TI make some really nice smps controllers, integrated fets, up to 3a and like 80% effecisncy under load. No excuse to use linear these days unless you’re driving like half an amp or need better than 20mv pard, even then sm can be used.
