Hi everybody, hope someone can help with this.
I have a old Toshiba laptop power supply that I want to use for a couple of circuits rated at 12v DC 250ma, the markings on the PSU are as follows - input 100v to 240v AC, then under that it says 0.7A - 0.4A.
Then underneath that it says output 15V - 2A, my question is as the supply is already smoothed to DC 15V can I simply take the DC output through a fixed 12V regulator without having to use any other components and is the total load I can actualy draw 2A ?, by the way I am on the UK so will be using 240V.
Thanks in anticipation
