You're probably going to get some learning opportunities, in a "why are parts turning into smoke in front of my eyes" sort of way. TI and others make 3-terminal switching regulator modules that are exactly the pinout, and roughly the size, of a 78Mxx regulator + heat sink. If there's one of those that will take your input voltage range then it'll definitely be easier to use than designing your own switching regulator, even if you're starting from an easy to use chip. | |
