The Switching regulator i use on R2 is a <a href="http://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/TL2575HV-05" rel="nofollow">TL2575</a> from TI, It is pin-and feature compatible with the more common LM2575, and needs just three external components! On R1, i used another TI module, the <a href="http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/pth08t231w.html" rel="nofollow">pth08231w</a> module, which is slightly simpler (only needs a pair of caps), but takes up more board space. I'll try to tidy up and post the schematics tonight for R2. Any other questions? Hi Erle!
