Finding A Higher Rated Linear Regulator

• The linear regulator needs to have a higher input voltage in order to withstand a wider range of incident voltages.
• The adjustable regulators were being excluded on Parts.io because of missing specifications (will be rectified).
• A careful analysis of all of the newfound specifications allowed us to find a suitable part.
• The adjust pin acts like a control point for the linear regulator output.
• Adding a 3 pin header allows us to switch between the in-line power source and a 2 pin header that can go to a set of batteries.

Results:

• Digikey search that resulted in the final part.
• The replacement linear regulator Chris decided on. (Digikey page)
