[sdiy] 3.3 V regulators

[Tom Wiltshire]

I use this one:

http://uk.farnell.com/taiwan-semiconductor/ts2940cz-3-3-c0/v-reg-3-3v-2940-to-220-3/dp/7261373?Ntt=TS2940CZ

No problems to report. It seems to behave pretty much exactly like a 3.3V version of a 7805, which is what I was after. The TO220 package provides enough heatsinking on its own that I can run a microprocessor off it without it getting warm.

Regards,
Tom
