LDO with Power Cables

This is an LDO (Low Dropout ) regulator with power cables.  

The purpose is to take a DC voltage in and linearly regulate it to a lower voltage.  It is designed to have a very low dropout voltage (less tha .1 volt in many cases).  The Analog Devices LT1963 is used as the heart of the design.

Used for:

1) Regulating a variable battery voltage down to a safe level (eg. 9V or 12V)

2) Providing a safe output voltage with current limiting for bringing up new electronic builds

3) Current limiting a large battery to prevent problems

Specifications

Input Voltage - up to 17 volts

Output Voltage - Settable with trimmer resistor from less than 5V up to the input voltage (minus the dropout voltage)

Current Limit - 1.5 amps

Fused - in case of over voltage input or reverse polarity input

Note: Voltage is set to 12V upon delivery
