I am posting this for my roommate. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Hi! I need some information about a device about which I have heard but don't know if exists... I am looking for a way to step up +5 volts DC to +12 volts DC. A friend said he would use a NS LM3578 switching regulator and a few other components... but I had heard there was something relatively new like this but integrated... Do any of you-all out there have any info on this {supposed} development? I am working in a very tight space so the smallest package that will do the job is necessary. On another topic, I am looking for a replacement battery for an IBM-compatible multi-function card. The battery needs to be 3.6 volts/550-600 milliamps.. the dead one is a "Varta" and looks like 3 nicads bonded together with a casing. A friend said a "Yuassa" battery might work, but I have been unable to locate either in the local electronics supply houses. Any info again would be most helpful. Thanks! Kent D.
