Hello,
I need to revise a 5V design to operate with some lower voltage components. I am looking for recommendations for some good regulators to drop my 5V supply to 3.3V and 1.8V. There's literally millions of them out there and I don't want to make a bad choice.
I have 1A of power on my 5V supply to play with and I need 500mA of 3.3V and 200mA of 1.8V from the new supply.
My design criteria are simple:
Regulators must be as inexpensive as possible.
Regulators must use cheap and small (hopefully ceramic) capacitors.
Regulators must be readily available.
Regulators must be hand solderable (No D-PADS on bottom)
If possible, regulators must be multiple source components.
I think this sort of thing must come up a lot, so hopefully you folks can give me some guidance.
Thanks, and best regards!
