Thanks to all who responded to my query. At this point I plan to follow Jack Smith's excellent recommendation to build a DC-to-DC converter based on the LM-2591 chip and do my best with appropriate filtering to keep RFI from getting out of the box. I appreciate having the excellent resources

Thanks, Fred. The LMZ12001 does look attractive. The best solution may be for me to buy their LMZ12001EVAL/NOPB evaluation board. See http://www.national.com/pf/LM/LMZ12001.html#Boards I will, of course, add appropriate input and output filtering. 73, John, no8v - From: Fred Townsend
