Hi there,
I'm looking for a suitable power supply circuit to supply 5v & 3v DC Voltages from possibly a 9.6v supply...
Basically I have an 8-way AA power pack that I plan on powering from Duracell Plus AA Batteries, but I am unable to find any information on them...
A quick search on line shows that Alkaline batteries range from 1700 mAh to 3000 mAh
At the moment I am using a LM7805 to power the circuit but once I am running from a battery supply I will need to use as little power as possible...
I know zener diodes and potential divider circuits are power hungry, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
I have no power requirments as of yet for the circuit, so just looking for suggestions at the moment...
