I have been using a mcp1702 regulator for a pp3 9v to 5v. Main circuit draws 75ma
I thought my circuit was fine but then realised there is an alarm that activates which draws 750ma and it has damaged a couple of 1702 which obviously can only handle 250ma max.
Does anyone have a good reliable suggestion regulator which does not dissipate too much heat so I don't need to worry about heatsink and that does not draw too much current as power consumption is crucial.
Many thanks
