I'm in the process of jotting down the plans for a high-power illumination project. I haven't yet decided if it'll involve a SST-50 and NiMH cells or a SST-90 and a big fat LiIon. The easiest way of powering such a monster without wasting huge amounts of power with resistors seems to be using linear regulators.
Now, I could just parallel up as many AMC7135 chips as needed, using those 20-board packs from DX, but it wouldn't be very practical and would take up a fair bit of space. 9 amps would require twenty-six AMC chips, for Pete's sake.
So, what can be used for a high-power application that works like an AMC buck regulator but only with a chip or three?
