Ive been having heat problem with a circuit board which ive traced down to the LM340 5V regulator im using running too hot because its dropping 12V down to 5V, excessive power dissapation.
Does anyone know of any switching regulators that dont require the external inductor/ diode arrangement such and this one from dimension engineering? http://www.dimensionengineering.com/DE-SW050.htm I cant get this one locally in time, just wondering if anyone knows of a similar part or I might have to bite the bullet and make an ugly mess on my board with a DIP package and inductor & diode as well
