Voltage Regulator

[C__B]

Does anyone know how to make a voltage regulator? :confused: I posted a question in the AP section about why a single cell lipo would make my camera act funny and shut itself off. The answer I got was that it was to much voltage. The regulator needs to have an output of 3.4 volt powered by a single cell.

Hi,

Just some VERY useful reading ...

I did some supplies from here .... and just can say : Works perfectly !!!

You can drop about 0.3V to 0.7V from your cell with a diode in serie.

If you need the voltage regulated, here is a low dropout 3.3 part that you may want to look at also: http://www.sipex.com/Files/DataSheets/sp6200_6201.pdf

a transistor with based and emitter connected will drop about .5v reliably..tends to be a bit more reliable than just a diode.
