I tend to use higher voltage transformers, in the 8-12VAC range, full-wave rectifiers + filter-cap, then use switching-regulators that are pin-compatible replacements for the popular LDO regulators. They are 90%+ efficient, and therefore generate almost no measurable heat.
If the current is really low, say 50mA or less, I'll use an LDO. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
