Re: Linear power supply

Hi Brian, thanks for the information.
I'm just following what the schematics require and don't know whether the voltage difference make any trouble or not. Though I guess some modules would work well with 15V.

I just feel that live and learn.

Thanks.

Check the datasheets to confirm allowable operation range. However, sometimes there may be other elements in the design that were based on a 12V source like a voltage reference; so check the design. Also providing a local regulator may help reduce noise and other nasty things.
