Hello,
I am using a PIC18F4550 for a circuit. I have a DC-DC converter that has an output of 5V and 1A.
I would like to reduce this for the PIC to a max of 250mA.
I am also using an LCD and a couple of sensors that each require 5V. I had considered just using a resistor to reduce the current, but I cannot afford the voltage drop.
What would be a good circuit for this? Would a combination of transistors be a good way to reduce this output current?
Would anyone have any good links to follow on this?
Thank you as always.
