                       Linear voltage regulator? Zener diode? SMPS?
  Which one suite your needs?
  For SMPS this could be a start. Go to "buck" converter. http://schmidt-walter.eit.h-da.de/smps_e/smps_e.html#smps
  They don't say how to regulate the output voltage but you can use a TL494. Look up the data sheet on the TL494 and you'll see your step down circuit in there.
  Linear Regs and Zener voltage references are ultra simple. Look em up. |
