Title: Voltage regulator available
Post by: dongle on September 15, 2006, 05:49:58 AM
Hi,

I can supply a regulator unit suitable for powering the R2, OSD or other devices. 

Input : 9 to 24V
Output : 5V DC  @ 1A max.
Protection : Input polarity reversal, short circuit.

* I have modified this post as the original type of regulator & box dimensions were not suitable for use in confined spaces without adequate ventilation. This is a heat dissipatation issue.

However I can still provide a suitable unit to meet your needs so tell me your application.

UK cheque or Paypal only.

Please contact me at Patcooper@microft.co.uk for more information.

i dont know if this will work with neuros.

the original ac/dc adapter is 5V @ 1500amp not 1000amp.

I reckon u can t use it, especially with large CF memories (more power consumption) am i wrong?

The total amount of current that the Neuros ac adapter can provide is 1.5A. The Neuros R2 consumes just under 0.5A when recording to a 1GB card. I have posted the power consumption figures for my unit elsewhere in this section.

Generally a power supply can provide more power than is required for a number of reasons including handling  startup surge and "glitches" without the supply failing or shutting down. Using a 1A regulator is more than adequate for this application with a 1GB card. I also presume that Neuros have standardised on the ac adaptor to simplify matters and keep costs down.

I have just looked at the spec of the  Silicon Power Ultima 45X 4 GB Compact Flash Card which will be available soon. The operating current is 30mA ie 0.030A ie peanuts.

Cheers
