Futureman Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Has anyone tried one of these? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3-Terminal-5V-1A-Switching-Voltage-Regulator-Power-Supp-/390106044649?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 With my new sequencer using VFD's and plenty of backlighting, my 5v regulator gets rather hot, and will need a heatsink the size of a small country. I was thinking of something like this instead. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuriken Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) They are using a LM2575-5. I assume you can quite easily make it yourself. I haven't tried one myself. But switching psu are much more efficient then liniar ones. So if you are not using a MB wich has analog audio, its ok to use a switching psu.

Altitude Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) interesting. I have had my eye one these for a while: http://www.dimensionengineering.com/DE-SW050.htm but that definitely trumps it on price. Would be nice for my MB808 which has to burn off 10V on the 7805 Edited August 29, 2010 by Altitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
