Hi guys,
I'm trying to make a low temperature voltage source with around 15V output (I can probably make do with between 12-20V). Basically I'm trying to power a bunch of LEDs, but I want it to be outside. I'll be using a transformer to convert 120V AC to ~20V DC, and I want the output to be stable 15V. The problem however is that I need this to work outside, so it has to operate between -50 to +50 degrees Celsius. LM78x voltage regulators don't seem to have that kind of operating temperature range. Can anyone recommend a part? Also, I can make do with 50 mA but I would prefer at least 100 mA output.
Thanks.
