Hi,
I am looking for suggestions on how to build a DC voltage converter. Specs as stated above, the 12V source can draw up to 15A, and the converter must provide at least 2.7A @ 3.3V. I have found a couple of regulators that take 12 to 3.3 except they usually max out at 1 or so amps. should i just use several in parallel or where can I get a bigger regulator?
Lowest possible cost is the main concern, not size/appearance/efficiency. I can add heatsink/fans if required. Can I use a bunch of zeners instead? Any benefits to using a switching regulator like this:
Thanks, -Mike
