Voltage regulator

Hi friends,

I have problem to produce 9V from 12V dc supply.. I have tried with 7809 Voltage regulator, but it produces a lot of heating even with heat sink..Is there any other method can be used to provide 9V from 12V? I know, we can use zener diode, but i'm not sure on that. Please help.Thanks in advance.

    Do you have measure your system's Current requirement?
    The voltage drop produces heat for the regulator..

    P=VI.. V= 12-9 = 3Volt and that is not much problematic. now its depend on your system's Current consumption.

    Pretty simple buddy!Since you are using a DC supply use a potential divider network. I trust you know how a resistive potential divider will work.😀

    below 1amp.Sorry for late reply.

    when you are using potential divider network it may be dissipate some heat in Resistor. if there is below 1Amp current then i think its OK no need to be heated this much. are you sure that your current draw is less than 1Amp?

    Yes, brother. Currently I'm working on pt5101 regulator, which output is 1Amp.
