Hey all--

I have a 12V SLA battery that I am using to power a microcontroller. Can
anybody recommend a good switching regulator that would provide peak
current of maybe 200ma, and average current of 75-100.

I tried looking at digikey, but I don't know much about regulators and I
couldn't really be sure that I was ordering the right part.

Also, what kind of support components does a switching regulator need?
I'm ignorant of how a regulator works, but "switching" to me makes it
sound like maybe it needs a few caps to smooth the output current..true?

Thanks,
Mark
